Alenia Aermacchi, a Finmeccanica company, recently carried out the first flight tests of the new sophisticated Helmet Mounted Display (HMD) system That Will Be fitted to the M-346 advanced training aircraft Masters.
The HMD system, a true interface between the pilot and aircraft systems, complements the Head-Up Display by offering the pilot to receive attitude, navigation, tactical and mission information directly on the helmet visor, independently of the direction in which he is looking. The HMD system, a true interface Between the pilot and aircraft systems, complements the Head-Up Display by offering the pilot to receive attitude, navigation, tactical and mission information directly on the helmet Visor, independently of the direction in Which he is looking. The HMD is fully integrated with aircraft avionics and with the Embedded Tactical Training Simulation system. The HMD is fully integrated with aircraft with the Avionics and Embedded Tactical Training Simulation System.
The adoption of this new HMD system on the M-346 is a crucial element of training effectiveness and an important step towards making the Master ever more representative of operational aircraft. The adoption of this new HMD system on the F-346 is a crucial element of training effectiveness and an Important step Towards making the Masters ever more representative of operational aircraft. The M-346 Master will now allow student pilots to learn to use the HMD, avoiding the risks involved should it be encountered directly on the much more expensive operational aircraft (Eurofighter, F-35, Rafale, F-16). The M-346 Master will from now allow student pilots to learn to use the HMD, avoiding the risks Involved Should it be encountered directly on the much more expensive operational aircraft (Eurofighter, F-35, Rafale, F-16). The HMD will also be integrated in the Full Mission Simulator. The HMD will from Also be integrated in the

Just as long as an unintended blink doesn’t turn off the engines in mid-flight.
I’d hate to have a pilot sneeze and launch a couple of rockets at my house while wearing this device.
