Virtual display fighter pilot displays




Futuristic new helmets will enable fighter pilots to see through the fuselage of their aircraft. The headwear being developed for the hi-tech F-35 Joint Strike Fighter will display computerized symbols to help the pilot to navigate and use his weapons. A Ministry of Defense spokesman said: "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."
