ProtoPie showcase

eVTOL Cockpit HMI

A ProtoPie showcase prototype of cockpit interface interactions for an eVTOL aircraft, built around the Joby S4 electric air taxi. I referenced Joby's flight control mapping documentation and Microsoft FlightFX integration so the interactions followed real aviation constraints rather than generic UI patterns.

Process

  1. Build

    Safety-critical UI patterns

    • Built cockpit interactions referenced from Joby S4 flight control mapping documentation and Microsoft FlightFX integration specs.
    • Focused on unambiguous state communication, alert hierarchy, and confirmation flows suited to aviation.
    • Showed ProtoPie's range for complex, domain-specific HMI beyond standard app prototyping.

Outcomes

  • Used as a showcase demo of ProtoPie's range in safety-critical, domain-specific HMI design.
