3851304 - AIRCRAFT FLIGHT DATA DISPLAY INSTRUMENT - Owned by Thomson-CSF (Paris,FR)

A display instrument for projecting aircraft flight data upon a transparent screen into the pilot's normal line of sight, wherein an optical objective projects images of luminous objects focused at infinity onto a combining glass; the luminous objects which represent the flight data to be displayed being carried out by means of electro-optical transducers such as electroluminescent diodes supplied by an associated supply circuit; servo means responsive to output signals of airborne sensor devices controlling the displacement of, and the selective supply to, the diodes representative of variable flight data.
