Structural Design Manual Vol 2 Mcdonnell Douglas Corporation: A Comprehensive Guide for Aerospace En

The instrumentation and control layout is essentially conventional, with a right-handed displacement-type control stick and left-handed throttles. An array of fingertip buttons allow for hands-on-throttle-and-stick control of key sensors, weapons and defense aids.[20] Flight systems employ digital fly-by-light controls overseen by a powerful Herriman-Weston 5/480 flight computer.[20] In flight, engine thrust and exhaust nozzle settings are automatically set to their optimum positions depending on speed, altitude, and the pilot's throttle and stick input. The dropship also features an intelligent autopilot facility that allows the computer to fly all phases of a mission profile with no physical pilot input, including ingress and egress to the target zone as well as landing and docking cycles. The Cheyenne features no manual reversion capability since the craft is too inherently unstable to be flown without computer assistance.[20] The UD-4's avionics are specifically designed to facilitate maximum cockpit efficiency. Essential flight information is provided to the pilot as required on a wide-angle heads-up-display (HUD) and three integrated multi-function displays (MFDs). A voice control system helps reduce the pilot's workload and can be employed for data entry, selecting communications channels, switching operating modes for the MFDs and weapons selection.[20]
