why don't you spend all that money actually getting a pilot's license, or join the air force

@espguitarist ; Why would you care ?

[jetpilot1978]

I'm starting to work on the same type of setup but am having trouble finding HUD glass or the frame like the A7 setup you have. Where did you find these? Thanks!

[airdance99]

I found both via one-time sources, using a network of F-16 cockpit builders.

Hi,

Me and a friend have been wondering..

If you were to connect the projector to a computer which collected real time information from a GPS and/or static port and pitot tube and got the projector to display that live information, would it work in an aircraft?

Just an idea..

A question: How well does this work with ground targeting? For example, if you need to set the designator on a ground target using the HUD symbology, do you find it is easy or even possible to make the HUD and the external view "agree" or sync with each other? Thx, and again great work!

This is incredible! Package and sell it, and we will come (and we'll buy it too).

Hi, have any references to how the HUD computer or Symbol Generator works and presents data? (I'm interested in the layout of the system architecture.) If not no worries. Really cool video!!
