HUD is "Head-up Display", also known as "Up Display", is an onboard optical display system. All important information such as speed, altitude, heading, altitude, terrain and topography required for flight will be displayed on the pilot's screen through this screen. Right now. The screen is made of transparent and light- permeable high-grade materials. It can not only display information, but also does not block the line of sight.

During the entire flight, the pilot does not need to look down at the instrument frequently and pay attention to the outside world, so as to always maintain a head-up flight. This allows the pilot to concentrate more on flying. The information transmitted on the screen comes from the accurate data calculated by the advanced computer on board, which can greatly reduce the probability of the pilot's operation judgment error in the complex environment, effectively reduce the crew load and improve the safety of the fight.
