Bar-graph display facilitates precise control of trajectories. Overall display system includes accelerometer block, power-supply-and-interface box, thrust-axis display, and pitch-and-lateral-axes display. Accelerometer block includes three servoaccelerometers orthogonally mounted on adjustable triaxial base allowing fine alignment of accelerometers with respect to airplane. Accelerometer block and power-supply-and-interface box located near center of gravity of airplane in lugguage area. LED bar-graph displays take up less panel space and easier to align with axes represented. No moving parts and not subject to parallax. With help of display, pilot adheres to predetermined fraction of g, with minimal lateral acceleration.
