What else can possibly go wrong? Oh yeah, a million other things.

Unbelivable. What a money pit.

A brand new phenomenon that some scientists are calling "G forces" are causing pilots not to be able to wear gigantic, extremely heavy helmets. Rumor has it that the massive helmets actually gain weight during flight maneuvers. But don't worry, we have our top Government employees seeking answers...

Well they have a room full of paperwork on the helmet. I think it would have helped had they put that time into actually MAKING THE HELMET.

$400,000.00 helmet! :eek:

How much of the helmet's tech can they put into the pilot's suit and onto the seat? Sticking with the tech in the helmet no matter what only fly's if the team thought miniaturization is around the corner to remove the weight problems. Or, to allow them to present a new tech that replaces the helmet's problems by virtue of having used live pilots at billions of dollars for beta testers. Because, they really didn't know what would happen when the rubber met the road. This whole project over the years has read like a lot of blind rubber meeting strange roads as stealth RnD on the public dime.
It's obvious they need a new mouse trap where the package called the helmet is concerned or all of the fixing of the aircraft's problems will not fix the product as a whole "man and machine" entity. Why are they fixated on all the tech being in the helmet when they know it is not working after all of this time and money? Is the end game to really show human beings are not up to the new tech defined frontier in the cockpit? Something doesn't smell right anymore. They overcame horrible technical problems with the first stealth fighter and the B1 bomber using a computer generation from the stone age compared to the generation in the F35. The F35 tech issues should be child's play after everything overcome back in those tech stone age days.

There are lots of new tech developing around AR and VR that will translate into very light helmets (waveguide and lightfield technology).
