In addition to keeping pilots on top of navigation, weapons and other aircraft, the Helmet Mounted Display System will superimpose a binocular-wide field-of-view, infrared image of the world below, allowing the pilot to "look through" the cockpit floor at night. This will let a <A href="http://www.spacewar.com/reports/Testers_Evaluate_Helmet_Mounted_Display_in_Cockpit_999.html" class="external-link">pilot</A>  turn in any direction and still be able to see a virtual heads-up display, replacing the information that is currently seen only at the front of the cockpit.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9817743-7.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1023_3-0-5"><P>
If it works, the F-35 will be the first tactical fighter jet in <A href="http://www.rockwellcollins.com/news/page8813.html" class="external-link">50 years</A> to fly without an HUD.
