The Future Was Looking Up

By Philip a Moylan

This is the story of how a small company in Oregon changed aviation. When Flight Dynamics Inc. was founded in 1977, Head-Up Display, or HUD, was a military term for the displays used on fighter aircraft. Forty years later, HUD is now standard on many commercial aircraft. How did this happen? Drawing from the author's own personal experiences, this book weaves the tale of the commercial HUD's development, challenges, successes, and eventual acceptance within the entire commercial aviation industry. It was a long and bumpy ride, with many potholes, but with passion, perseverance, and vision, the people in this book made it happen, enhancing both aircraft operational efficiency and safety.
