ABSTRACT:
An altimeter is disclosed which includes an arcuate top portion and an arcuate bottom portion. Side portions connect the arcuate top portion to the arcuate bottom portion. The side portions have a curvature less than a curvature of the top portion or the bottom portion, thus giving the altimeter a narrower footprint while preserving important features of conventional dial-type altimeters. An indicator moves about the perimeter of the altimeter based on altitude information, thus displaying altitude of the aircraft.
