Is that the helmet, that's hooked up with those six cameras, for the x-ray vision?

Yup!
This is one portion of the F-35 program that I have my doubts about, not that I don't think the thing will work but the way it will be handled in service. Those of us who have crewed jets will really understand this.
Quite the piece of kit all the same!

I wonder if the pilots will get spatial disorientation with it?

Only if they read "Yahoo News."

Yes, just like the WW2 gunners that couldn't use telescopic turrets because of the same issues. Spatial distortion.
Explain that will you.
Come on flyboy. You can do better than that.

Apology accepted.
I suggest you start backing up your rants with FACTS or at least try to validate your posts. That's all I'm going to say about this.

I believe 60 Minutes did a expo on the F-35 a while back and showed off that helmet. Looked like it would take some time getting used to because of no frame of reference to the plane. Wild.

Would like to know, what it would take to really give them x-ray vision in the helmets, I mean.....those machines aren't cheap, not small and most probably need a lot of juice to work as well....
So this is the second helmet? The one designed by BEA?

there's been at lease one similar helmet around for years, I believe the French use it in the Rafel. Believe it of not I'm told it doesn't weight that much and is lighter than the old HGU-26 that I have used, but then again almost anything I've used seems lighter
