Brian,

Any leads on a helmet-mounted display a civilian could acquire? When I left
the Pentagon in Aug '88 they were still in R&D status - had some "good
enough" stuff available, but the "developers" hadn't convinced the
"operators and bean-counters". Army AH-1 Apache's have good stuff fairly
recently.

It all depends on what you want to do and how much resolution you need.
If you want to cook up your own HMD for your aircraft, go look at Micro
Optical Corp.

http://www.microopticalcorp.com/

Their display is about the size of a boom mic and offers VGA resolution
(640x480). Certainly you could put your PFD or engine data on there and
not have to look in the cockpit. It should be easy to mount on a helmet.
