Ah, explain how the monocle 'projects' the image into the eye?

You do realise that the 'projection' has to make it through the pilots eye lens, iris, and then be focused on to the retina at the back of the eye?

And can you please explain how the pilots eye can then focus to inifity at the outside world, and targets, and at the same time focus on the monocle projected HUD?

The answer is neither image is 'projected'. Revi, apache HUD, or the outside world have to have equal focal points at the same time, or at least one is going to be seriously out of focus. You can't 'project' images in to the eye. The eye has to focus the light on to the retina.
