MSkinsATC said:They are equipping the pilots with a special helmet/visor. The airplane have sensors and cameras on the skin. The new helmet/visor will allow them to look completely through the plane, in all directions...kinda like x-ray vision...I read it in one of Lockheed Martin's things, cant remember where I picked it up, but do some searches for it online, you should find some info there.
