This paper describes the early stage research of the Trajectory Recovery System (TRS). TRS provides directly perceivable and actionable aerodynamic performance and recovery information to a pilot in the event of an In-Flight Loss of Control (ILOC) event arising from exceeding the aircraft's critical angle of attack (AOA), ILOC-Stall (ILOC-S). Documented here is the Human Centered Design (HCD) approach that was utilized to conceptualize, formalize, and select TRS design options. As a Joint Cognitive System (JCS), TRS architecture provides for fluid multi-agent interaction for optimum aerospace system vehicle performance. Therefore, the human-agent model for interaction that theoretically supports TRS is described. Prototyping history, from wireframe to a Wizard-of-Oz test bed, to an aerodynamically optimized algorithm animating a functionally flyable prototype is reported.
