Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus and method are provided for providing dual touch and physical control inputs for an aircraft control panel. The apparatus comprises a cylindrical shaped control knob that is rotatably mounted on the aircraft control panel. The control knob includes a movable surface around the exterior of control knob that is manually adjusted by a user, a touch screen along the circular top of the control knob that is tactilely adjusted by the user, and a display screen located on the touch screen that shows values of flight performance characteristics that are controlled by inputs from the control knob. A flight display panel shows image data of the aircraft with reference to the flight performance characteristics.
