Terminator-style helmets Allow Fighter Pilots To See Through Their Planes

The British military is currently testing a new helmet that allows fighter pilots to literally see through their planes.

The concept is made possible thanks to a series of cameras that are placed on the outside of the plane.
The images from the cameras are projected inside the specially designed helmet via the cockpit.
Allowing the pilot to see 360 degrees around him/her.
The cameras will even have infrared sensors, allowing pilots to look down, through the cockpit floor, in the dead of night, and identify targets.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s killer robot in “Terminator” has really inspired the military.
