A typical AI display is "inside out", ie the view is from inside the plane
looking out. Some (Russian) aircraft use the reverse display, ie a fixed
horizon and a moving airplane graphic. Does anyone know of work done to
measure the human factors benefits / penalties of these two approaches?

This wasn't uncommon in early instrument work. As a matter of fact, the
Buddy Holly/Big Bopper/Richy Valens crash was blamed in part on the
fact that the aircraft had an Sperry Attitude Gyro (fixed horizon moving
airplane) where the pilot's experience had been on the more conventional
artificial horizon.
