 Hey Everyone,
 This is the coolest little "Application" for anyone with an I-Phone or I-Pod
 who has an interest in flying or aviation.
 It turns said device into a virtual cockpit, and it's only $5.99 ! ! !
 Check it out... and why not buy it?
 Pass this on to other airplane or techy people you may know :)
 Blessings, Rienk

 Attention Pilots, Aviation Enthusiasts and iPhone users,
 
 
 
 A close friend of mine has developed an “App” for the iPhone that uses the
 GPS and accelerometers already in the iPhone 3G to power an EFIS. You can
 call it a PFD, AHRS or HUD but it is very cool for $5.99.  That is no typo,
 only Five Dollars and Ninety-Nine Cents! The nice people at Apple keep 30%
 so there is not much profit on this. That is why I wanted to implore
 everyone as a personal favor to me, if you are in a position, Please Buy
 This. Also please spread the word and forward to anyone that might be
 interested.

 Thank You,

 Glass cockpit iHUD - EFIS AHRS motion visualization on the iPhone

 iHUD - Aerospace-inspired motion visualization on the iPhone 3G
 
 iHUD is an application (app) that turns the iPhone and - with limited
 features the iPod touch *) - into an aerospace-inspired mobile Glass
 Cockpit.  iHUD derives its name from Head-Up Display, which depicts motion
 and flight-related pertinent guidance information and data for optimal
 situational awareness.
 A Glass Cockpit usually features an AHRS and an EFIS for visualization of
 position, attitude, attitude changes, track and acceleration of the vehicle
 in space and time.  AHRS means Attitude and Heading Reference System.   AHRS
 delivers primary flight information to the pilot.  EFIS means Electronic
Flight Information System, which displays the obtained information in the
 Glass Cockpit, also known as a Multi Function Display (MFD).
 In aerospace, EFIS/AHRS is a cost-effective replacement for traditional
 vacuum-powered mechanical gyros (steam gauges! Just kidding). Without
 mechanical gyros, no maintenance is required, and the resulting system is
 much lighter and way more powerful and very reliable. In addition to the
 primary flight information, power plant sensor data, and maps for guidance
 (moving map) may also be displayed.
 In Aerospace, there are many Glass Cockpit variants - from very simple
 (starting price of ± $2000.-) to amazingly complex (> $100,000.-) - but they
 have in common all the basic information of attitude, attitude changes,
 heading, speed, vertical speed, and acceleration.  Imagine all this
 information is simulated by iHUD, made possible by the iPhone’s on-board
 accelerometer and GPS sensors.
 iHUD depicts an extraordinary graphic interface with a simulated horizon and
 a vehicle reference symbol, dynamic speed, altitude, and vertical velocity
 ribbons and digital display window, rotating compass card with user
 selectable heading bug, slip/skid ball, and an accelerometer (G-meter).
 iHUD <http://ihud_suite.html/>  offers a fantastic way to teach, see, and
 learn EFIS and partially AHRS on-the-fly. Important note: A limitation of
 this basic version of iHUD is that the horizon depends on the on-board
 accelerometers only. This means that the horizon does not display the earth
 horizon as a reference of a vehicle in an accelerated attitude. It will
 display the acceleration of the vehicle only. Therefore, never ever use this
 version of iHUD for in-flight operations to visualize attitude other than
 pitch and roll. We are currently studying the possibility to mathematically
 model an algorithm to address this issue.
 *) The iPod touch has no on-board GPS receiver, therefore accelerometer
 based information (attitude with pitch and roll, and G-load) is only
 operative.

 Please use the iHUD responsibly. iHUD is not intended for steering
 airplanes, helicopters, boats, motorcycles, and other powered vehicles, and
 UFO's. It is for entertainment and educational purposes only
