Nearly 10 billion flying hat of F-35 US pilot

On social media, a video of a pilot, allegedly from Britain, landed a stealthy F-35 fighter on the aircraft carrier.

He got off the plane, took a round of shaking hands with everyone, then suddenly fell down. Everyone gathered to help him up. The person posting the video online commented: Worrying for the pilot is a small thing, worrying that the flying hat of $ 400,000 (nearly 10 billion dong) is broken is the main thing.

It may be a funny comment, but the flight hat is expensive and the figure of $ 400,000 is completely realistic.

At a 2015 press conference, US Air Force commander Gen. Mark A. Welsh III did not seem to find the words to describe this flying cap. ' The hat is more than a hat, it's a workspace,' he describes the hat specifically designed for F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter pilots. 'That is the interpretation of the dogfight. That is the awareness of the situation. Calling this a helmet is really . we have to find a new word ' .

Pilots on F-35.

Wired magazine called it a 'head device'. Economist: 'the top of the Top Gun'. (The term Top Gun is often used to refer to excellent fighter pilots - PV).

Call it what you want. The other thing is that the hat is equipped with a lot of things. It has a sensor system, night vision technology, integrated information display system, target tracking system to follow the pilot's movement direction, aiming software, all designed for pilots. The public has the ultimate vision: everything, everywhere. Other pilots check information on the HUD screen mounted in front of the cabin, about flight speed, flight direction, altitude, climbing speed, information about other aircraft (friend or foe). F-35 pilots can view this information both on the HUD and on the hood of the flight. In addition, an F-35 pilot can push a button on the joystick of the aircraft, or touch the touch screen on the cockpit to choose from three display modes on the flight helmet: real-time video of what's in takes place around airplanes, thermal imagery or night images.

The hat has the ability to adjust the display parameters according to the pilot's view. It is connected to six cameras arranged around the F-35 aircraft. It can be said that with a flight hat, pilots can 'see' everything unlimited. With the help of the camera, when looking down, the pilot can see through the aircraft floor, according to Airspace magazine.
