Device for aiding the visual spotting of an aircraft in flight from another aircraft, also in flight

摘要

A device for aiding the visual spotting of a second aircraft in flight by the pilot of a first aircraft looking at the sky through the canopy may include an approximately vertical display device and a first device that displays on the display device a representation of the canopy. A communication device receives position information relating to the second aircraft from an outside source. Using the received position information, a second device displays on the display device a symbol representative of the second aircraft such that the position of the symbol in relation to the displayed representation of the canopy corresponds to the position of the second aircraft in relation to the aircraft's canopy as seen through the pilot's field of view.
