For my last blog post, I decided to talk about a more
futuristic possibility. There is a
possible safety upgrade in the next five years for commercial airliners by
giving the pilots the opportunity for virtual reality. It’s known as synthetic vision and it allows
a 3-D rendering of runways, obstacles, and a lot of other debris that can
bother pilots. The synthetic vision
offers energy awareness cues that give the pilot flight path vectors, the speed
and acceleration of the flight, and this can all be very beneficial for
pilots. It’ll be like the pilots are
playing a flying video game, where they know how fast they’re going and how
fast they’re accelerating with a big point on the screen of where to land. This synthetic visions is already available
for business jet cockpits, but it is now just being introduced to commercial
airliners. It’s amazing what the future
holds for aviation, and how safe this system can make flying. It’s a great article!
