Cockpit Engineering provides an understandable introduction to cockpit systems and a reference to current concepts and research. The emphasis throughout is on the cockpit as a totality, and the book is accordingly comprehensive. Although the focus of the book is on combat aircraft, which present the greatest engineering and ergonomic challenges, Cockpit Engineering is written for professional engineers and scientists involved in aerospace research, manufacture and procurement; and for aircrew, both civil and military - particularly during training. It will also be of great interest to university students specialising in aerospace, mechanical and electronic engineering, and to professional engineers and scientists in the marine, automotive and related industries.About the AuthorAfter an apprenticeship in electrical engineering, Don Jarrett studied the optical properties of thin metal films at the Lanchester Polytechnic and the thermo-mechanical properties of glass ceramics as a Post-Doctoral Fellow at Warwick University. In the spring of 1974 he joined the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough, where acceptance of an invitation to take a temporary interest in helmet-mounted systems caused him to spend the next thirty years investigating aircrew and their workplace. He has published many scientific papers in this field and holds a number of patents.**
