Need help with my project

Mercenary Pilot - Good example, I would be delighted to see somthing similar to this introduced..I find it difficult to believe that a standard piece of equipment does not exist already!

Prophead - Yes... Although, it would be more appropriate attached to an armchair - no more getting up to make a coffee, the wife might get a rest..!!! Sorry....Sorry....

To be serious, depending on the level and practicalities of your course, I would consider something basic, practical more importantly doable. I suggest you investigate the ergonomics of the Mixture lever. So many pilots have experienced serious incidents as a result of leaning the mixture as apposed to reducing the throttle when returning to the airfield. Assess various possibilities how one could reduce this occurrence of this basic error. Investigate whether or not it would be a plausible to introduce a warning system, for example, at a predetermined threshold of the mixture, a visual light or an audible sound would be produced, this would indicate you’ve attained that threshold. Alternatively, redesign the ergonomics of the lever so that the Pilot is more aware, no not just the colour on the top of the handle, but possibly investigate the texture and feel of the lever – would you relocate it, should it be larger, smaller and so on….,

Best of luck!
