What about non-aviation applications?[edit]

This article seems to assume that synthetic vision systems are confined to aircraft, which is of course quite incorrect. It also treats enhanced vision systems as a subset of synthetic vision systems whereas in fact the reverse is the case. treesmill (talk) 18:50, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Request edit[edit]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Honeywell has donated the image on the right, which I have used to replace this image on the Honeywell Aerospace article. I am of the opinion that Honeywell's image might be a much better image than the ones used on this page and on the Head-Up display page. Since it is an image of a Honeywell product with Honeywell in the caption, I would like to request a second opinion to ensure this is actually an improvement.

Looks good to me. Do you want this to be an addition to, or a replacement of, the current image in the lede? bobrayner (talk) 21:01, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm... I am looking more into the pre-existing image. It is not merely a poor quality image, rather it is from 2004 and from NASA; the comparatively low quality of the image is a manner of historical significance and its comparison to our more modern offering is important to offer to the reader. I would suggest the following:

Move the pre-existing image down to paragraph 5 that begins "NASA also used synthetic vision"
Change the caption on the current image to: "A synthetic vision system that was tested by NASA in a Gulfstream GV business jet in 2004."
Add Honeywell's image as a more modern depiction

A similar approach can be made for the Heads-up display. It was rash of me not to look into the current image in greater detail before proposing a replacement. Corporate 02:09, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Requested edit implemented (more or less). Feel free to tweak as needed. --No unique names 23:04, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Long lead, external links[edit]

An aviation specialist may be needed to 1) Reorganize the article so that the over-long lead is shortened and some of its content moved into the body of the article and 2)turn the (possibly dead) external links found in the lead and body into inline citations. In the case of dead links, you may want to search for those sources in the Internet Archive or elsewhere.--Quisqualis (talk) 19:24, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
