Most fighter plane cockpits are designed with a heads up display (HUD)
which projects vital information on a glass screen in front of the
pilot so he can pay more attention to what goes on outside the plane
and not the instruments and displays inside the plane.

Until now, that is. That's because the F35 Lightning II Joint Strike
Fighter - a joint endeavor from Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, Northrop
Grumman, and British Aerospace - has become the first fighter aircraft
in decades to be designed without a HUD. This is thanks the fighter
pilot's new, and albeit frightening, best friend, a combat helmet
which uses a miniaturized version of the HUD inside the helmet itself
