HUD RE: Digital dash

[BOWEN, SCOTT M. (JSC-CC)]

I work on the HUD system used in the Shuttle Training Aircraft here at
Johnson Space Center.
We use a CRT into a 90 degree optics cell that magnifies from a 2" CRT
display to a 3" display shown on the combiner [the glass pieces in front of
the pilot].
The combiner is 2 pieces of glass with a holographic image sandwiched
between them that is a rose color to enhance the green images produced by
the CRT.

most of the aircraft HUD stuff i surfed looked like the actual gauges were
remoted with mirrors. doesn't make sense to me, but a plasma(?) display
might not wash out so bad. do they even make them anymore?
