Amazing Helmet
Have any other pilots heard of or seen any of these? It's amazing what new technology is being used in the skies.......... Defense Tech: The Freaky F-35 Lid

Some of the comments following the article are good for a few laughs.
"Can it see through chicks clothes?" "I for one welcome our fancy helmeted overlords." |
that probably costs at least 100 bux.

If I remember correctly, this helmet will eventually replace all of the other fighter helmets in inventory. Right now we're tying to get the curriculum developed for the maintainers. The question right now is who is going to be responsible for fixing these things, PR's or AT's etc....

Wow!
And to think I remember when Kevlar was the new cool thing in helmets!:eek:
|
Yeah, cool.
But you still cant cook, bathe, wash socks, or dig with them like the good ol' steal pot! |
"allow the pilot to look through the cockpit floor at night and see the world below"
What happens when I want to look down at my kneeboard card???:p USMCFLYR |
And I'm wondering how the thing feels at 9 G's.. They musta made the thing feather-light, right?

That sure looks like it'd be fun to wear for 8+hours
