Welcome to Aviator's Blog...

Why an Aviation blog, you may ask...because despite all the bad press on air travel delays, etc., some very cool and exciting things are hapenning in aviation: commercial airplanes made out of composites, amazing engine technology with ever lower emissions, lower fuel consumption, and lower noise, the deployment of new ATM system, the launch of the Galileo constellation, the (re)emergence of new aerospace powerhouses in Russia, India, China, the VLJ phenomena, and so on...This all leads to new business opportunities and new jobs both here in the US as well as all around the world.

Pick a topic...and feel free to share your thoughts and perspectives with us.

It really amazes as to how much of the pilot/co-pilot/flight engineer's work load has been taken over by stupendous electronics like FMS/FCS. This with the advancement in flight deck technology has made the flight deck uncluttered and so well laid out with aesthetics and all ergonomics taken care of. Spice it up with Synthetic Vision and HUDs. You can notice the wide difference when u notice with a comparitive eye, the cockpits of the yet to be made public the 787 and lets say.....the concorde.

The cockpit seems to be drifting towards a more comfort and cozy zone. At this point we start to wonder...at least i do.......is there something that the pilots crib for even now? Do the pilots still have some pain points which have not been taken care of? Are they asking for more when it comes to betterment of the flight deck technology.....or the aerospace technology in general? On a broader note...what would Boeing and Airbus look for if they design an airplane in the future (maybe their next one)? Where are we on a scale of 10..if we want to evaluate parameters depicting the maturity of the aerospace technology?
