Problems solved by technology

[0004] Aircraft instrument panels contain instruments of different standards and sizes, which are included in the instrument panel even though the structures required to incorporate this varied equipment are complex and therefore expensive
The variable set of equipment is large and heavy, sensitive to vibration and difficult to install and inspect

Embodiment Construction

[0053] The invention relates to an aircraft nose cone or an aircraft cockpit for a commercial aircraft, ie in particular for the transport of passengers and / or cargo. The invention relates, for example, to an aircraft whose fuselage, when equipped for passenger transport, is capable of transporting approximately one hundred or more passengers.

[0054] The front of the aircraft is fitted to receive a pilot of the aircraft. Usually, in aircraft of the above-mentioned type, the pilot and the co-pilot are located at the controls of the aircraft. The controls are placed in a space located in the nose cone of the fuselage known as the cockpit. In this specification, the terms "cockpit" and "nose cone" are considered to be roughly synonymous. Typically, two seats facing the dashboard are provided in the cockpit, and a windshield is provided above the dashboard. The pilot is accommodated in one seat and the co-pilot is accommodated in the other seat so that the two sit along the d...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a novel design of the front portion of an aircraft cockpit. The invention provides a viewing device which comprises a screen pivotably mounted on a mounting that allows height adjustment. The invention also suggests placing a screen at the top central portion of the instrument panel. Said central screen is movable between an extended position and a retracted position in which said screen does not block the view of the pilots through the cockpit windscreen. A cowl, made at least partially of a taut fabric or the like, is used to cover the viewing screens, except optionally the mobile central screen which can pass through the cowl via an opening provided for said purpose. The invention also suggests arranging an avionics rack in front of the screens of the instrument panel, in which the mounting is advantageously also used to support other devices (rudder control system, writing shelves, etc.).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an aircraft cockpit and more particularly to an arrangement of instrument panels inside the cockpit. [0002] The invention belongs to the field of commercial aircraft for the transport of passengers and / or cargo. The cockpit of the aircraft is usually located in the nose cone of the aircraft and accommodates a flight workstation occupied eg by the pilot, optionally the co-pilot and / or crew members such as instructors. Inside the cockpit, the pilot and / or co-pilot has available a comprehensive set of displays and controls, referred to herein as a dashboard. Background technique [0003] The number of display screens in an aircraft, or at least the display surface area, tends to increase, which naturally leads to an increase in the size of the instrument panel. Consequently, there is a tendency for dashboards to become wider and wider, which will result in wider cockpits. The increased cockpit width is detrimental whe...
