Abstract

See full text

A method of alerting a pilot to the location of other aircraft begins by detecting the presence of at least one other aircraft and then calculating that aircraft's projected flight path in the sky. Given the position of the pilot's head or eyes, a given image (e.g., a circle) is then projected (or otherwise displayed) on the aircraft's windshield at a calculated position. This position represents a relatively small region in the sky that the pilot, given the head or eye position and the projected flight path, should expect to see the other aircraft. In this manner, the pilot need no longer search the sky to attempt to map a display image to an actual location in his or her field of view.
