The F-35 Helmet Brings Innovation To A New Level Any pilot will tell you that you can’t look through the airframe to see what’s beneath you, or behind you, or even sometimes beside you. Honestly, it probably doesn’t even take a pilot to tell you that much. However, those days are over. The F-35 Lightning II, the most technologically-advanced fighter aircraft of all time, brings unheard of capabilities into every facet of the plane. Its software system alone contains over 8 million lines of code, equivalent to about 150,000 pages of text. The software controls the latest advancements in weapons systems, sensor fusion, electronic attack, radar functionality, communications, navigation and last but most certainly not least – the F-35 Helmet Mounted Display. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
