Project overview
The ALICIA project (All Condition Operations and Innovative Cockpit Infrastructure) was led by Augusta Westland Helicopter Company (UK) and involved forty-two partners from fourteen countries of the European Union.
Research outcomes contributed to improvements in flight safety and extending the range of operations.
The University of Southampton has undertaken an analysis of the cockpit architecture using Cognitive Work Analysis to model the demands and constraints of normal and non-normal operations. This work informed the development of new design proposals for glass cockpits, including a Head up Display (HUD) concept to assist helicopter pilots landing in degraded visual environments.
