Eight years ago the National Research Council Canada began a flight research program to evaluate various attitude displays, with the human factors objective of improving situational awareness in recovery from unusual attitudes. The aircraft used was a Harvard Mk 4 , selected for its aerobatic capability, refitted with a glass display in the rear cockpit.
I became aware of this in an AW&ST (4 Aug. 2003) article, "Angle on Awareness", by David M. North. The NRC brochure on this project is

My question: Has this research led to implementation in new/updated aircraft?
Such a very amazing link!
