Just as seen on this wikipedia page.
Well, I know it's the functions that matter. BUT, fighter pilots (at least F-35 jocks) will no longer be the "macho" men they used to be in full flight suit, with helmet and mask on, like I always see in the photographs. That guy sure looks like the weakest robot type in a low budget futuristic-themed movie..

I think they should paint them black and put Hello Kitty barets on them.

I know I would, just to mess with people.

Another picture of that helmet, I think. Now I swear I tried hard not to laugh when I look at it..but I am but a mortal..
Probably this is a new psywar tactic for future dogfights? The bandit will look at our pilots, laugh his ass off and lose control of his aircraft for a moment, just enough for the good guy/gal to steal a shot at him..

I think it looks pretty cool. The old helmets look good too but this just looks badass.

The "horns" project images inside the helmet?

Edit: I meant "stereoscopic images"

I'm wondering if there's going to be any noticeable increase in the weight over previous flight helmets.
