One day soon a student will just show up with her sunglasses running XCSoar (HUD-edition). Printed on the bill of her baseball cap will be a solar-charged and disposable sensor pack that includes a barometric altimeter, HD GPS, and 3-D inertial probe. IR video overlay will highlight the thermal generating hot spots on the ground. 300 km tasks in SGS 2-33s will become the norm for first year pilots.

The steam gauges in the panel of the SGS 2-33 will keep the FAA happy.
