Check out the VirtualHUD! It is a heads up display that uses the propeller on a single engine aircraft to display information. It is like a little projector that beams onto the prop. Pretty cool! The VirtualHUD is a simple bolt-on system for any plane with a nose propeller that takes a readout from almost any avionics package or flight GPS system and projects it onto the back of the spinning prop, overlaying information, graphics, warning and waypoints directly over the pilot's view from the cockpit.
It is readable pretty much from idle and, best of all, because it's just a simple projector system, there's no reason why you couldn't use it to show your own in-flight movies too. No more long and boring flights with just the roar of the enginge to accompany you!
