Head-up display technology has a proven track record in military and commercial aviation, improving safety, situational awareness, and cockpit efficiency. Three companies have joined forces to bring this technology to general aviation pilots through APEX HUD, connected head-up display glasses.
The partnership brings together three complementary capabilities: EyeLights’ head-up display hardware, Adventure Pilot’s iFly EFB navigation ecosystem, and AURA AERO’s aircraft integration expertise through its INTEGRAL platform, according to Adventure Pilot officials.
APEX HUD, designed for owners and pilots of general aviation aircraft, connects with Adventure Pilot’s iFly EFB to support flight planning, navigation, and in-flight awareness. Pilots can customize the information shown in the glasses while planning and flying their trip, according to company officials.
The glasses are designed to provide pilots with flight information in their forward field of view, helping reduce heads-down time and improve situational awareness in the cockpit, company officials said. APEX HUD is compatible with the Garmin G3X.
As the aircraft manufacturer partner in the program, AURA AERO is working with EyeLights on the connectivity interface between the APEX HUD glasses and the INTEGRAL aircraft family. This integration is designed to bring aircraft data into the pilot’s forward field of view, “supporting a safer, more intuitive and more connected cockpit experience,” company officials said.
The product is in development and expected to be on the market in 2027.
Pilots can pre-order the glasses with a special AirVenture launch offer available only during the event (July 20-26, 2026) of $3,992.76. Regular price is $4,986.66.
