It's National Aviation Day! In honor, here is an image of a glass cockpit from a flight simulator we use to continue developing new cockpit technologies and to make airliners safer and more efficient. We originally created and tested the concept of an advanced cockpit that replaced dials and gauges with flat panel digital displays. Glass cockpits are in use everywhere today on commercial, military and general aviation aircraft. National Aviation Day is in honor of Orville Wright's birthday, directing citizens to celebrate the day with activities that encourage an interest and appreciation for aviation. With heritage in aviation research going back more than 100 years, we've helped air travel become a safe, reliable form of transportation.
