The Helmet-Mounted Display System developed for the F-35 Lightning II, or Joint Strike Fighter, displays head-steerable symbology, meaning the pilot’s line of sight dictates the content that appears on the visor. As soon as, or even before, a pilot sees another aircraft in the distance, the system projects a marker on the visor to locate, identify, and track the aircraft. If the designated aircraft is determined to be hostile, the pilot can use the targeting info to cue weapons—without looking down at the cockpit displays and while pulling G’s.

Highlights of the 2006 Edwards AFB “Aviation Nation” Airshow Here’s that air force Heritage Flight I mentioned earlier.  It’s an interesting formation, the P-51D Mustang and the F-22 Raptor represent different generations of pure fighter, while the A-10 Thunderbolt II and F-15E Strike Eagle are both strike aircraft, though of course the F-15E is also a very potent air-to-air fighter in its own right.
