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.

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.
