A short haul civil transport (SHCT) tiltrotor is a VSTOL transport type aircraft with performance equivalent to that of a medium performance transport turboprop aircraft having the additional unique capability to land and takeoff vertically (Figure 1). SHCT flight deck (or crew system design) has as its end requirement, the implementation of those systems required to operate a functional, commercially viable, short haul civil transport (SHCT) in the national and international airspace systems. Short haul transport flight deck/crew systems design and integration must consider the mission requirements, unique aerodynamic characteristics and performance requirements and capabilities (flight profiles) of the aircraft to be used.
