The Royal Air Force has created the most advanced helmet in the world, complete with extraordinary X-Ray power that allows pilots to see through the plane so they can sight targets on the ground. This helmets could also be the end of traditional style cockpits as cockpit information will be projected on to the pilots vision. It will also give guidance on navigation, engaging the enemy and contains an anti-noise gadget. The helmet is being tested along side the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter which is the RAF’s replacement for the Harrier.
As reported in the Sun online An MoD spokesman said: �
Unlike other jet aircraft the JSF, which is planned to replace the Harrier, does not have a traditional head-up display. Instead the computerised symbology will be displayed directly on to the pilot’s visors, providing the pilot with cues for flying, navigating and fighting the aircraft. It even will superimpose infra-red imagery on to the visor to allow the pilot to look through the cockpit floor at night and see the world below - like something out of Terminator. This is absolutely the cutting edge of technology. No other helmet will be able to do this�
