A 400,000 dollars worth helmet is being provided to the US Air Force's pilots with the fighter jets that will help them see through the aircrafts.
The U.S. Air Force's F-35 Lightning II comes with a 400,000 dollars helmet that allows pilots to "see" through the plane, the Washington Times reported.
Lockheed Martin's single-engine fighter aircraft has been equipped with six cameras and 8 million lines of code, which would assist the pilot wearing the helmet 360 degrees of vision. Anywhere the pilot looks, vision would not be hindered.
