Wearable cockpit

This is one of a series of resources from the IET designed around the theme of the future of flight with the purpose of developing pupils knowledge and skills in design technology, engineering and mathematics. Modern technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), have the potential to completely change how pilots interact with and control their aircraft. 

In this activity pupils design a wearable cockpit that makes use of new and modern technologies. They will produce a specification for their design requirements and a mind map of ideas. They will then produce sketches of their initial ideas before producing a completed final design.
