Wearable HUD Offers High-tech Retrofits
Universal Avionics and Elbit are offering interesting new ways to control the FMS through a wearable head-up display.
Elbit’s SkyLens wearable head-up display (HUD) enables situational awareness previously available only on larger, newer aircraft. Pilots can control avionics with “look and select” technology, enabling them to perform functions that previously required “head-down” time to operate a flight management system (FMS). With the HUD, they can perform those functions while keeping their eyes outside the flight deck.
