How does an aircraft HUD work?
A HUD – Head Up Display – is a means of presenting information to the pilot in the line of their external forward vision which projects key flight instrument data onto a small ‘see-through’ screen positioned just in front of the pilot line of sight looking ahead out of the aircraft.

What is a HUD system?
A head-up display, also known as a HUD (/hʌd/), is any transparent display that presents data without requiring users to look away from their usual viewpoints.

The Projector contains optics to make the pilot’s view of the display appear to be at infinity (rather than the few feet away it is in reality). This allows the pilot to read the data while their eyes are focused on far-away real-world objects outside the aircraft (runways, weather, other aircraft etc).
