CBLong and Jetstream Rider, thank you very much for your replies.
I am growing increasingly concerned that the product I feel would really provide a complete system of protection and increase situational awareness for new pilots is not going to be possible in the time I have available.
CBLong I appreciate your thoughts and thanks for the link, I was hoping to avoid fitting any external components or altering the airframe in anyway as that would lead to certification issues, so the fact that the technologies I had proposed are not going to perform is a slightly worrying issue I now have to deal with!
I was aiming to create a product that could be installed much like a portable GPS.
Jetstream I think you have definitely hit the nail on the head! I am scratching my head trying to figure out how to get so much into this product so that it can cater for every eventuality. I have until the middle of April to have my final concept finalised, and start on my design report. There really is so little time.
I have some ideas concerning the visualisation of airspace and the environment we operate in and I understand the technologies to do it. Its been done on the ground already, albeit in research and I feel that its very relevant in today’s airspace. So perhaps I have to concentrate on that side and accept I cant, in the time given solve all the problems I would like to.
I suppose I’ll just have to be brutal and create a manageable project in the time given rather than trying to save the world!
Thanks everyone for your help,
Regards
Buster,
