Airbus Headquarters, Toulouse Blagnac
Alongside the Airbus Top Cockpit Operations team, I contributed to the research and development of new interactive features for the cockpit of the future. This project explored the evolving relationship between pilots and an entirely new immersive working environment.
How might we enhance pilot interactions within an immersive cockpit environment?
How can we simplify the use of control instruments and reduce cognitive workload?
How can we provide intuitive access to information and ensure an optimal understanding of onboard systems?
Working closely with engineers, developers, and ergonomists, my role was to conceptualize and formalize design solutions that improved pilot interactions with embedded HMI systems.
Over two years, I facilitated and participated in creative workshop sessions with the project team. Beyond ideation, I collaborated with ergonomists on the analysis and synthesis of workshop outcomes.
These workshops were instrumental in aligning design phases with sprint cycles to meet user expectations. They also provided a space to challenge existing functionality choices, generate new ideas, and anticipate emerging needs.
Collaboration with the development team was crucial. Together, we integrated new features into the flight simulator, enabling us to test concepts directly with pilots in an immersive environment. This iterative process ensured that our solutions met real pilot feedback and validated in realistic conditions.
