NLR's AVIONICS RESEARCH TESTBED (ART) was started in 1986 with the aim to develop an airborne facility for inflight research on the optimal use of advanced avionics systems. The first phase of the research project was completed with the implementation of a digital, fully programmable, 8 x 8 in., full color Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) in NLR's Fairchild Metro II laboratory aircraft. The EFIS display receives input via digital ARINC 429 buses; in the Metro laboratory aircraft, several of these buses have been integrated into one ARINC 429 bus. The inflight measurement and processing system samples a number of aircraft signals and converts them to ARINC 429 standards. The main components of the system are described and it is explained how the specific qualities of the AVIONICS RESEARCH TESTBED enables research applications in the field of human engineering (e.g. different speedtape presentations) and in the field of flight procedures (e.g. new standard MLS interception procedures using simulated conventional instruments).
