Helmet that allows pilots to see THROUGH the F
Helmet that allows pilots to see THROUGH the plane: Airmen in new $1trillion F 35 fighter will see the ground thanks to $400,000 piece of headgear
Six infrared cameras around the jet give pilots a complete 360 degree viewIts price tag is millions over original budget due to development problemsState of the art helmet allows pilot to share information with nearby F 35sF 35 Lightning II one of the most complicated weapons systems ever builtProgrammed with over 8 million lines of code, four times more than F 22By
Six infrared cameras mounted around the aircraft allow its pilots to 'look through' the air Pandora Jewelry 70% Off Clearance frame, giving them a perfect 360 degree view of their surroundings and enemies.
And all of the information they need to complete their mission airspeed, altitude and even warnings systems are projected straight onto the helmet's visor rather than the traditional 'heads up display'.

High tech: The F 35 jet's $400,000 helmet (pictured) gives the pilot a 360 degree view around their aircraft and even allows them to see through its frame
Complex: The six infrared cameras placed around the plane means that when the pilot looks down, they see the world below them in their visor
Problems: Its staggering $400,000 price tag is millions more than the original budget because of Pandora Jewelry 70% Off Clearance problems in its development
Destructive: The F 35 Lightning II is considered one of the most complex pieces of weaponry ever and is programmed with 8 million lines of software code, compared to an F 22 Raptor's 1.7 million
'When the helmet's tuned correctly to the pilot's eyes, you almost step into this other world where all this information comes in,' a test pilot for the Lockhead Martin, the plane's prime contractor told the Washington Post.
Al Norman added: 'You can look through the jet's eyeballs to see the world as the jet sees the world.'
Like the jet which is estimated to cost around $1.5trillion to develop over the next 50 years the helmet is incredibly expensive.
Each custom made piece of high tech headgear costs nearly half a million dollars, which is reportedly millions over its original budget due to development problems.
Earlier versions of the helmet did not deal well with turbulence and there was a delay in the state of the art video system which caused motion sickness, the Washington Post reports.
There was also a green glow in the night vision function that obscured the pilots' vision and in 2011, the Pentagon allegedly hired BAE Systems to build a backup.
The F 35 Lightning II has what is considered to be 'one of the most complicated weapons systems ever'.
Whereas a fighter jet like the F 22 Raptor is programmed with around 1.7 million lines of software code, the F 35 has up to a staggering 8 million.
It comes in three versions, including one that is designed to take off and land on an aircraft carrier and another that lands vertically like a harrier jet. government estimated the F 35 would cost around $1.5trillion to develop over the next 50 years
The helmet incredibly allows pilots to share information with other F 35's near it but that function has also had teething problems, the program's executive officer.
Air Force Lt. Gen. Chris Bogdan said: 'If one or two jets are flying together, they have been able Pandora Charms Gold 14K to share information seamlessly.
'But when there are four jets, communication problems emerge, which can 'create an inaccurate picture for the pilot.'
The Pentagon's astonishing estimate for the lifetime cost an F 35 is up almost $120billion from about year ago.
But it still Pandora Bracelets plans to buy 2,443 of the warplanes that can evade radar detection and can reach well over supersonic speed.
The new estimate includes maintenance costs of around $1.1trillion over the plane's lifetime, the price of the aircraft itself which is $332billion and another $63.8billion for the engine.
THE F 35 LIGHTNING II: A 'QUANTUM LEAP' IN AIRBORNE WARFARE
The fighter jet's developers Lockhead Martinsay 'the supersonic, multi role F 35 represents a quantum leap' in airborne warfare.
Its 'advanced stealth' allows it to fly over areas without being detected by sophisticated radar systems that other jets cannot.
