A device to improve the field of vision in aircraft that lack sufficient transparent surface area. The device includes at least one collimator connected to an imaging sensor of the space outside the aircraft. The collimator projects an image in the pilot's field of vision. The image covers both the transparent window surface and the instrument panel of the cockpit. The image coincides with the real image in the field of direct vision produced by the transparent surface. A further image may also be viewed by the pilot through a periscope arrangement.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The aim of the invention is to overcome this drawback.
To this end, an object of the invention is a device for the improvement of the field of vision of an aircraft pilot, wherein said device is constituted by at least one collimator connected to an imaging sensor of the external space, the collimator projecting an image in the pilot's field of vision, this image overlapping the transparent part of the cockpit of the aircraft enabling direct vision and the non-transparent part of the cockpit, the collimated image coinciding with the real image in the field of direct vision.
The main advantages of the invention are that it can be adapted to every type of aircraft, enables the improving of the pilots' viewing and is simple to implement and economical.
