SAAF JAS-39C Technical Data and Discussion

how about gripen E cockpit

cant wait for gaijin to mess up the really big MFDs that are able to display multiple things at once

are those 6 mfds?

1 big one that can display multiple MFD pages at once, think kinda like how a PC can display multiple windows at once.

nope it is one massive one, you have the same in some other mdoern planes as well the F-35 for example and some russian stuff will also get really big MFDs

those big MFDs are able to display multiple pages at once

so corners that are seen are just digital to make it easier to discern from the different pages?

F-15QA and EX have similar setup, it seems to be a pretty popular choice now

Because it keep situational awareness much higher.

Instead of looking at multiple MFD’s you can only focus on screen.

basically every single modern fighter seems to just have one big ass screen

f15qa is the qatari one right? im pretty sure ive seen f35 with a similar setup too

Yeah Typhoon’s looks cool as hell

I think they might even be ditching the HUD to go full HMD

damn

yep

seems like a really big design mistake. I dont know anything about these but isnt it smarter to have multiple screens so when one breaks it doesnt take the whole system down

It might not be a single display, just multiple that are seamlessly next to each, but modern tech is pretty reliable and Im guessing they do still have backups somewhere in the cockpit

fair enough.

idk man what would even cause damage to a screen in a cockpit during sorties that isnt much more worrying than just a broken screen

I guess extreme weather, battle damage, etc. But yeah, probably the least of the pilots worry is the screen in front of them.

Tho imagine the psychological torture, when the plane just takes off on a long mission, and the screen gets a bad pixel. Pilot going insane with 100% probability.

Yeah that one dead pixel on the white background
