Is it a habit we prefer mechnical instruments?

As an
electrical/software engineer, I know that it is possible to pack every
function of every glass cockpit ever created into one computer costing
less than $1000US, but no one has done this yes.
If you can do that, you will sell tremendous numbers of them.
Many glass cockpit systems put the readouts in such a way that they are a
tape, or some other means to display the information, without just numbers,
in a visual pointer, or graph. That will be important, to get good
acceptance.
Price is still the key. Make a glass cockpit that people can afford, sell
it to experimental plane owners, the get it certified for the certified
airplanes.
