...A general term for instruments installed on aircraft. They are broadly divided into flight instruments for checking flight conditions such as attitude and speed, navigation instruments for checking the aircraft's position, engine instruments for checking the engine's operating status, and other instruments attached to the aircraft. Military aircraft such as fighter planes also require instruments related to their weapons. Compared to instruments used in ground transportation, there is a strong demand for high accuracy, small size and light weight, excellent durability against environmental changes such as temperature and pressure, fast response, and easy-to-read displays.
