- This work was done as part of a research project into evolutionary future cockpit systems funded by, and cooperatively with, BAE Systems. The paper presents performance data collected for a variety of control devices suitable for interacting with cockpit instrumentation. The results of the study, which included the first use of movement efficiency metrics to assess the characteristics for hands-on-throttle-and-stick (HOTAS) input devices, were useful in both improving existing device designs, and also informing design decisions on appropriate devices for future flight decks. In particular, the limitations identified with HOTAS devices support alternative designs for future multi-role aircraft.
