787 Cockpit

The cockpit of the Boeing 787 has struck the eye of many pilots in the aviation world. The 787 cockpit will be entirely glass with HUDs (heads up displays). THe 787 will also feature an electronic flight bag that will allow all charts to be shown digitally on a computer screen. The days of pilots looking at maps are now officially over! The cockpit will have two seats and will allow enough room for observers to sit behind the pilots and take notes. The 787 cockpit also limits the number of emergency switches and clears the clutter many wide-body aircraft cockpits in the past have had to deal with. Traditional Boeing fans need not to worry as a basic rudder and yoke system will still be utilized on the 787. The cockpit will also use a phone system and have the best radar available to all plots.
