Abstract
The tunnel-in-the-sky display is a viable candidate to become the primary flight display of future cockpits. The tunnel size is one of the main tunnel display design variables, affecting pilot performance and workload. The paper describes the effects of varying the tunnel size on pilot behaviour from the perspective of cybernetics. After an analysis of the fundamental information-transfer characteristics of the tunnel display, an experiment was conducted to evaluate pilot behaviour both qualitatively as quantitatively. It is shown that the cybernetic approach can be used to obtain tunnel display design guidelines in a conceptual rather than empirical fashion.
