Airbus has unveiled new perspectives on the evolution of the fighter aircraft cockpit, detailing how cutting-edge technologies like gesture-based interaction, eye-tracking, and AI-enabled assistance are poised to redefine the way pilots operate in high-intensity mission environments.
As presented in a recent feature from Airbus' newsroom, the focus is clear: future cockpits will need to do more than display data — they must interpret, support, and adapt to the pilot in real time.
This approach resonates deeply with the objectives of the EPIIC project, where Airbus is a key consortium partner. EPIIC aims to enable safer and more efficient air missions through advanced multimodal interfaces, real-time crew monitoring, and intuitive human-machine teaming.
As collaborative innovation continues across Europe, efforts like these ensure that pilot-centered cockpit design remains at the core of defense aerospace transformation.
