Hello fellow aviators,

I am a third year Computer Aided Design student at Bournemouth University actively seeking aviation related design ideas for my fourth year project. I have necessary aviation related experience (PPL & FISO)

The product can be either a new innovative design solution or alternatively a design improvement for an existing product on the market.

Have you ever come across a product that makes you want to cringe due to it's poor design qualities? Or perhaps you have a new idea, which would offer a solution to a problem.

Pilots, ATCO's and enthusiasts, please post replies to this topic if you have any ideas, even if they appear to be ridiculous! I will be very interested to hear your opinions.

Many thanks for your support,

Matt

Try looking in the AH&N forum about the Russian AH.

Or you could always make the buttons bigger on a GPS so you can actually use them in (turbulent) flight.

Or (seriously) look into replacing ailerons with wing warping.

Or crash cages for crop spraying aircraft - like they do on powerboats now...

Or a wing surface on powerboats to stop them from flipping over.
