Head up designing with today’s technology

Abstract

Reports on the design and installation of a Head Up Display unit from Flight Visions, the FV‐2000 HUD, which has been fitted into Beachcraft’s King Air for private and commercial pilots. However, with the many models and revision levels of this popular aircraft, Flight Visions found it was spending too much time cutting and fitting styrofoam mockups of the HUD in sample aircraft. So it turned to modern technology in the form of the FaroArm digitizer from FARO Technologies (Lake Mary, FL) and CADKEY, a computer‐aided design (CAD) system from Cadkey (Windsor, CT).
