This article discusses the problem of using touch screens in the crew cockpit as part of a general trend optimizing the humanmachine interface of the cockpit in order to improve the safety and quality of flights. The aim of the work is to develop a promising cockpit information and control field of a transport category aircraft based on touch screens and to analyze the feasibility of using this technology on board the aircraft. Based on the analysis of current research and trends, as well as regulatory documentation in the field of building a perspective cockpit using touch screens, a conclusion is made about the feasibility of using touch screens in the cockpit and the concept of a perspective cockpit is developed. As important elements of the concept, such interactive display pages as normal and emergency checklists, a navigation page with a flight plan, and pages of the aircraft navigation system are considered. Given the well-known problem of using touch displays in turbulence, a backup display and reconfiguration control loop is proposed. On the basis of the above-mentioned concept, an intelligent information system is being developed for prototyping a promising cockpit, taking into account the application of the ARINC 661 standard, with subsequent integration into a universal stand for prototyping the cockpit and testing the results with the participation of flight experts. The practical significance of this study is due to the significant optimization of the elements of the cockpit information and control field, as well as the potential increase in the reliability of the complex by replacing the electromechanical display controls, reducing the cost of developing the information and control field and making improvements, reducing weight by decreasing the number of wires and equipment, reducing the complexity of installation.
