Elbit Systems has announced that its Skylens wearable display has successfully started flights in final configuration mode on-board the new ATR-72/42 series aircraft.
ATR is the launch customer for Skylens, which replaces the traditional head-up display (HUD) with this configuration.
The system can also be offered as a retrofit to ATR-600 aircraft already in service, and provide additional potential business aviation aftermarket customers.
A part of the Clearvision enhanced flight vision system (EFVS) family, Skylens supplies high-resolution information, images and video on a high-transparency visor to pilots.
This HUD provides better flight safety and helps to operate in those airfields that lack proper infrastructure, as well as head-up information and reduced dependency on airport instrumentation.
The company claimed that the product can be used in all weather and visibility conditions.
