Random Quote: If you want to make a small fortune building boats, start with a big one!
I'm on a BB, so bear with me. There are no windows in that cockpit. I am a commecial driver, a 100 captain, I have a bs in engineering, and I am a commercial pilot with an instrument rating. I have never seen a yacht or truck with an attitude indicator. With hundreds of instrument approaches I have always used a windshield to see the runway. In that cockpit there are no visible controls for the throttle or props. That is not a typical airplane cockpit. I have not been in a sub but I assume they must have attitude indicators. The attitude indicators lead me to believe it is a deep diving sub, but I have no clue since I have never been in a sub. That is why I asked. Don't act like a question is dumb when you don't know the answer.

I have never seen a yacht or truck with an attitude indicator. With hundreds of instrument approaches I have always used a windshield to see the runway. In that cockpit there are no visible controls for the throttle or props. There is no yoke for the copilot. That is not a typical airplane cockpit.

Helicopter. It's an S-76 C+ instrument panel. The reason you don't see any windows is that there are no windows in the pic. You can see the "glare shield" very clearly at the top portion of the panel. If the glare shield was not there you would be able to see the windscreen.
Oh.... and it maxes out at 155 KNOTS and 700 lbs of fuel per hour.

I knew it isn't an airplane cockpit and I was just curious what it actually is. I've never spent any time in helicopters. I really appreciate the reply.

Having gone very fast on land, air, and water....I will say that water has the greatest sensation of speed by far. 100mph on the water feels faster to me than 200mph on land.
