Head-up display for aircraft with a curved windshield
First Claim
1. A head-up sight, for an aircraft with a curved windshield (5), the windshield being external to the sight, which can project at infinity a symbology intended to be superimposed onto the external scene, comprising a combination of optical elements (2, 21, 22, 23, 3, 4, 41, 42, 7) bent at an angle to a folding mirror (3, 7), characterized in that the folding mirror (7) has a curved shape adapted to correct the parallax associated with the optical power of the windshield (5).
