Dr Richard L Newman Is Associate Professor, Safety Science, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Arizona, USA. Previously he was with NASA Langley Research Centre and Crew Systems, USA. He is a consulting engineer and test pilot with over 20 years' experience in the development, flight testing and certification of aircraft systems. His current interests include the evaluation of head-up displays for use as primary flight displays, head-up display training, and pilot monitoring of digital systems. Dr Newman's recent projects have included development of a primary flight display HUD for the C-130J, certification of a head-up display for a corporate airplane, flight test management of a HUD-equipped research airplane, and currently the development of helmet-mounted display symbology concepts with NASA-Ames Research Center.
’...in the HUD industry over the last twenty years, I have seen first-hand the severe cost and timescale impacts which can result. I therefore welcome Dr Newman’s book in the hope that it can achieve the result of helping the end users to specify what they really need with the necessary insight into what industry can reasonably be expected to produce...this book should be of great interest and value to HUD engineers, avionic systems designers and pilots.’ Aerospace
