AIRVENTURE 2017: MYGOFLIGHT TO DEMONSTRATE MGF SKYDISPLAY(TM) HUD (HEAD UP DISPLAY SYSTEM) IN THE MGF BOOTH AND WITH ASPEN AVIONICS
The SKYDISPLAY(TM) HUD delivers information to pilots in their line of sight when they need it, with zeroincrease to pilot workload. Now integrated with the Aspen panel.
DENVER and ALBEQUERQUE, July 19, 2017 -Today MYGOFLIGHT (MGF) Advanced Display Systems group, maker of premium iPad gear, flight bags and advanced displays for pilots, announced that it will demonstrate MGF SKYDISPLAY(TM) HUD - LCD180, its first in a series of affordable, compact HeadUp Display (HUD) units during EAA AirVenture 2017 taking place July 24th through July 30th. The HUD will be operational with a flight simulator in their exhibit in booth Hangar C, #2143 and integratedwith an Evolution Pro 1000 in Aspen Avionics booth in Hangar B, #2145, taking place July 24th throughJuly 30th in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.A joint company presentation of the MGF SKYDISPLAY(TM) HUD will take place in the Aspen Avionicsbooth in Hangar B, #2145 on xxxxxxx at 10:00am. Officials from both companies will be present todemonstrate and review this exciting new product. Pricing has not yet been set.Going beyond the limits of traditional head-down displays, the purpose of the SKYDISPLAY(TM) HUD is todeliver information automatically to pilots in their line of sight when they need it, with zero increase topilot workload. This creates more accurate and safe departures and landings, reduces the number ofaccidents due to loss of control, and significantly reduces the physical effects of vertigo encounteredon descent. Transitions from ground roll to climb and from IMC to VMC and down to the runway are alldone with a pilot's eyes looking outside the aircraft."The MGF HUD is now a reality" said Charles Schneider, CEO, MYGOFLIGHT. "Our projection displayand software technology is capable to not only align information a pilot needs to see with their line ofsight, it enables them to do that without having to enter any information or learn to operate anythingnew. Our goal is to improve flight safety by getting pilots to fly with their head up and eyes out duringall critical phases of flight."Aspen Avionics utilizes an open data architecture that the MGF SKYDISPLAY(TM) HUD connects to. Thecompanies will work together to complete this integration so that in the end the Evolution Pro 1000 isthe source for all of its flight and indicator information."We have been developing primary flight displays with advanced features like Angle of Attach (AOA)for many years," said John Uczekaj, president and CEO, Aspen Avionics. "But, we have been veryinterested to move all of this information directly into the pilot's line of sight. MGF's SKYDISPLAY(TM)HUD does just that. It allows us to align our unique AOA display where the pilot is looking on approachand it is small enough to fit into most of the aircraft flown by our customers."MGF's SKYDISPLAY(TM) HUD uses a transparent display and specially designed optics that projects animage out in front of the pilot. This allows a pilot to be able to view information with their headpositioned "up" and looking forward instead of angled down looking at panel mounted instruments.The HUD does not require removing any existing avionics, will not block existing instruments and willnot interfere with flight controls.The MGF SKYDISPLAY(TM) HUD contains four primary components: a projection unit; clear glass displaycombiner; an aircraft interface device (AID) computer that connects to the aircraft's primary flightinformation; and a HUD graphics computer that drives the HUD's display. The image appears to be outin front of the pilot to minimize head down time. The direct integration with Aspen eliminates the needfor the AID computer and thus lowers the overall system's cost.MYGOFLIGHT's Advanced Display Systems unit works with avionics electronics manufacturers, airplane manufacturers and apps developers that are interested in this product to ensure compatibility and fit with their software, electronics and airplanes.HUD units available today cost roughly $150,000 or more. The initial price of the MGF SKYDISPLAY(TM)HUD has not been set. It is intended to be installed by avionics shops and will be integrated with onboard existing avionics.
