Editing Cockpit (section)

==Aerospace industry technologies==
In the U.S. the [[Federal Aviation Administration]] (FAA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration ([[NASA]]) have researched the ergonomic aspects of cockpit design and have conducted investigations of airline industry accidents. Cockpit design disciplines include [[Cognitive science]], [[Neuroscience]], [[Human–computer interaction]], [[Human factors and ergonomics|Human Factors Engineering]], [[Anthropometry]] and [[Human factors and ergonomics|Ergonomics]].

Aircraft designs have adopted the fully digital "glass cockpit". In such designs, instruments and gauges, including navigational map displays, use a user interface markup language known as [[ARINC 661]]. This standard defines the interface between an independent cockpit display system, generally produced by a single manufacturer, and the avionics equipment and user applications it is required to support, by means of displays and controls, often made by different manufacturers. The separation between the overall display system, and the applications driving it, allows for specialization and independence.
