Thales Future Cockpit Brings New Ideas

Thales (Chalet S1) is here exhibiting its future cockpit concept: Odicis (one display for a cockpit interactive solution) with additional functions. Engineers have endeavored to make ground and air segments work together seamlessly in next-generation air traffic management (ATM) systems such as the Single European Sky and U.S. NextGen. The philosophy of Odicis is to have more information displayed and still make the crew’s job easier.

Newly added has been an “initial 4-D trajectory” (I4D) feature. The system allows flight crews to tell controllers exactly when they will arrive at a specified destination right down to the time the aircraft will arrive at the gate. The Odicis demonstrator will replay the flight trial that took place in February 2012.
