Abstract

The theme of this paper is the development of flight instruments used in gliders. First part of the thesis describes the history of gliding followed by closely related description of development of the instrumentation. This chapter also looks into the history of flight instruments and the comparisons in evolution of the instrument panels and their contents of the instrumentation of gliders, which differ depending of their use, i.e. recreational, training or competitive flying purpose. The next chapter enumerating the instruments that the glider must contain. The fourth part contains a description of modern instruments and systems that replace classical devices with gradual development and provide a number of new features and views to the pilot. The last part is the design of new instrumentation for the VSO-10 glider, which is owned by Aeroclub Poprad. The change in the cockpit includes three versions of the proposal, which differ mainly on the basis of pricing. The section continues with the procedures and measures necessary to approve the replacement or construction of new proposed equipment in this type of glider.
