Britain's Ministry of Defence shows off a prototype helmet for pilots flying the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.

As time goes on, the higher tech the helmets are the uglier they get.

The F-35 has a HMD (helmet mounted display), instead of a HUD. That's were the green lights are coming from.

 

Ugly yes, but far from a POS.

How heavy is that thing?

 

probably heavy enough to break one's neck at 7g!

It's much lighter than it looks. I've worn the prototype and it didn't feel awkward or uncomfortable at all. I expected it to feel top heavy, but it did not.

 

It's the only helmet I've worn, so I can't compare it to anything current.

Well I guess they'd make it as light as possible, I mean you are supposed to wear it for a long time.

Nah... just thought of an action movie with green-eyed good guys, red-eyed bad guys and some Han-Solo-type yellow-eyed guy who switches to green in the last minute. :biggrin:

FUGLY ! Was FUGLY before and nice to see it's still F-U-G-L-Y. Personally, I like the EF2000 helmet.

Now why is it that I got the feeling someone's going to sooner or later add horns to those stubbs? :blink:

 

And then paint it red and name it something unholy...

I have been looking at this picture for days now, trying to get accustomed to it, but I can't. I am freaked out by it. Eyes are the windows into the soul for me, and to see eyes like that kinda gives me the heby jebies. My wife once got these dark green contact lenses, I couldn't look at her. That just freaked me out too much. So add this helmet to my list of fears, right below the easter bunny and just above clowns. Freaky.

Looks like something Darth Maul would have worn while piloting his Sith Fighter.

Why can't it be cool like a clone trooper helmet or something?

If a pilot like that ejects at night and you walk into him with his helmet still on I bet your pants are full of crap :blink:

LOL!

ROFL!!! That is the creepiest helmet I've ever seen! Although it would look better if they got rid of the lights illuminating the eyes.

Looks like a new generation salon hair dryer, complete with the choice of TV in a HUD, Internet browsing, or listening to radio or MP3s.
