Abstract
A miniature daytime dynamic alphanumeric/graphic flight symbology generator and display system in which raw aircraft data, such as altitude, airspeed, heading etc., are generated by a display generator into symbology indicating the data intensity. The symbology is transmitted by a signal transmission means, to a symbology image source by a means such as fiber optic links in case of optical signals or flexible cable in case of electrical signals. The symbology from the image source is projected onto a combiner directly in the line of sight of the aviator so that symbology indicating the various conditions of the aircraft is viewed by the aviator as an overlay with the actual scene. The combiner is enlarged to provide a 30.degree. field of view and has a spectral coating thereon to enhance the symbology for daytime viewing. The display generator has a variable control means to increase the data intensity for daytime viewing.
