This work describes the development of novel interface prototypes for the control of a semiautonomous parafoil, with the specific aim of improving landing accuracy across a spectrum of users. The paper begins with an overview of the current tools and technologies available to parafoil operators. The work next then proposes and iteratively evaluates a series of different prototypes comprised of different display elements. Each element is specifically tailored to support a specific task or phase of flight in the overall parafoil guidance task.
