Purple Sky Framework Towards the Flight Deck of the Future Experience: Through Co-design, Rapid UX Prototyping, and User Testing

摘要

Envisioning and conceptualizing the future experience in flight deck present particular challenges. It is constrained by legacy system architecture, platform, and capabilities. Therefore, it typically requires significant investment upfront in terms of resource and time. Also, due to its complex nature, the flight deck systems are rather a combination of different subsystems than an holistic integration of subsystems [1]. A design framework, Purple Sky, is established to consider these challenges. The framework includes a design process based on Human-Centered Design and User Experience (UX) Rapid Prototyping Platform. In this paper, we will introduce the framework using a case study of designing future flight deck concepts for business jet operations.
