Airbus A330 cockpit
Cockpit of an Airbus A330 airliner. The A330 is a twin-engine, widebody airliner typically flown over long-haul routes with a capacity of 253-295 in three-class layout. The glass cockpit is highly computerised. All of the primary flight instruments are displayed on square computer screens, as are checklists and navigation data. In place of the conventional yoke or wheel, the aircraft is flown by a side-stick, a joystick like device fitted to the side of the pilots knee. The first flight of the A330 was in 1992, as of mid-2011 over 800 had been built with orders for more than 300 outstanding

This print showcases the sophisticated cockpit of an Airbus A330 airliner. The A330, a medium to long-haul aircraft, is equipped with twin engines and boasts a spacious widebody design that can accommodate 253-295 passengers in a three-class layout. What sets this cockpit apart is its cutting-edge glass technology, which creates a highly computerized environment for pilots. The primary flight instruments are displayed on square computer screens, offering clear visibility and easy access to crucial information such as checklists and navigation data. Gone are the traditional yoke or wheel controls; instead, the aircraft is flown using a side-stick—a joystick-like device conveniently positioned beside the pilot's knee. Since its first flight in 1992, over 800 A330s have been built, with more than 300 orders still outstanding as of mid-2011. This remarkable feat speaks volumes about the popularity and reliability of this modern marvel in commercial aviation. As we gaze upon this image captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of how far air travel has come thanks to advancements like fly-by-wire technology and computerized controls. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of innovation in order to make air travel safer and more efficient for all those who embark on their journeys aboard these magnificent flying machines.
