Dogfight Video -> HUD Trajectories: A Simple Fix to Prevent Midair Collisions

Lehan Edirisinghe

Fighter-jet dogfight video inspired HUD trajectory ideas for nearby aircraft, aiming to prevent midair collisions and improve pilot awareness I watch an F-104 dogfight clip and my brain immediately turns it into a safety feature: pilots should see nearby aircraft trajectories on the HUD

The image depicts a screenshot from a YouTube video titled "F-104 Starfighter Dogfight," uploaded by a channel named "Imperial Ace," which has 1.01K subscribers. The video player interface is visible at the bottom, showing a play button, timeline, volume control, and options to share, download, and save the video. In the foreground, the cockpit of a fighter jet is prominently displayed, with a curved canopy framing the view. The cockpit features several metallic bolts and a circular opening in the center. The view outside the cockpit shows a clear blue sky with a few scattered clouds, and the ground below is a mix of sandy terrain and patches of vegetation, indicating a desert-like environment. On the right side of the image, there are several labels and annotations in red and blue text, indicating various aircraft and their statuses. The text includes: - "1.5 km" next to "F-100 Super Sabre" - "2.0 km" next to "MiG-23MLD damaged" - "1.0 km" next to "Aerial 2-1" - "Aerial 4-1" next to "1.0 km" - "Aerial 6-1" next to "2.0 km" - "MiG-23MLD damaged" repeated three times in blue text. The background features a vast expanse of land with a mix of light brown and green patches, suggesting agricultural areas or settlements. The overall composition gives the impression of an aerial dogfight scenario, with the cockpit view emphasizing the action-oriented context of the video. The video is set against a backdrop of military aviation, specifically focusing on the F-104 Starfighter and its interactions with other aircraft. No people are visible in the image, and there are no identifiable logos or trademarks apart from the YouTube branding and the "PowerDirector" watermark in the lower right corner, indicating the video editing software used.

Letting Pilots See Other Planes’ Flight Trajectories
