Abstract
On modern civil aircraft, in order to improve aerodynamic efficiency, curved windshield has become more and more popular in the cockpit. However, in consequence of optical distortion,the pilot may suffer from the halo phenomenon of runway light when the aircraft with curved windshield is flying at night. Concerning this problem, this paper analyzes the optical principle of the halo phenomenon through optical simulation, defines the key flight stages and key factors affected by it. This paper puts forward an acceptable solution from the perspective of visual ergonomics, to provide guidance for the design of curved windshield on aircraft.
