The Picture above is no high tech prototype for some movie it’s the new that allows fighter pilots to see through their planes, currently in it’s testing stage by British Military.
Although it’s high tech it work’s in a very simple way , a series of camera’s are placed outside and around the plane. The images from the cameras are fed back to the cockpit where they are projected inside the specially designed helmet, allowing the pilot to see 360 degrees around him/her. It will look to the pilot as if there is no plane at all… which, now that we think about it, sounds kinda creepy. The Helmet also has infrared so the pilot can look under the seat and set target for the bombing. The British are planning to pay £66 million ($139 million) apiece for after it hits the production line.
