SA Photonics has made the first commercial sale of its PilotVision Augmented Reality (AR) display. The headset-mounted system, designed for commercial aviation, was announced at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh in August 2019. Fly Elite, a Pennsylvania flight training, FBO and maintenance provider, has received the first order to aid its training program.
PilotVision clips on to a set of communications headgear andprovides situational awareness via high brightness symbology over a 62-degreefield of view, with almost zero peripheral obscuration. When not needed,PilotVision can be rotated up to its stow position, just like a boommicrophone. The AR display interfaces with a standard attitude and headingreference system (AHRS) and does not need to be plugged in to aircraftelectronics.
“We are very excited to implement PilotVision into ourtraining program,” says James Rouiller, President of Fly Elite. “Thecapabilities PilotVision provides will not only dramatically increase ourpilots’ and students’ situational awareness, but also their overall flightexperience.”
PilotVision was designed by the same team that designed theF-35 Joint Strike Fighter head mounted display as well as the JHMCS headmounted display used on the F-15, F-16 and F/A-18 fighter jets, but sells for afraction of the price. PilotVision uses flight symbology and synthetic visionprovided by Adventure Pilot.
