Elimination of Screen-Flickering Phenomenon in Multi-Function Display During Flight of Fixed-Wing Aircraft

Abstract

In this study, we aim to eliminate the flickering phenomenon in multi-function display (MFD) units during the flight of fixed-wing aircraft. To execute flight missions effectively, the video signals transmitted to MFDs must provide information accurately and seamlessly. Therefore, a method for addressing the flickering phenomenon—including cause analysis and failure diagnosis—is adopted; specifically, a wiring configuration with a direct connection between the video signal cables and with a short cable length is adopted. The proposed method is experimentally verified using a flight test.
