Mission Possible | The New Eurofighter Super Helmet
Ғылым және технология
The Fighter Show is back, bringing you all things Eurofighter Typhoon! In this episode, we head to the UK to delve into the heart of innovation with the groundbreaking Striker II helmet, hailed as the most advanced fighter helmet on the planet.
Curious to know what makes it so special? Join Flo as he asks the burning questions, and explores what sets this helmet apart from anything else on the market.
Sit down with Blyty, BAE Systems’ test pilot at Warton, Lancashire, to find out what the new tech will mean for Typhoon pilots. Then, journey with us to Striker II HQ in Rochester, to meet the visionary minds crafting this technology, shaping the future of aerial combat.

“We’ve changed the material from composite to carbon fiber” smh carbon fiber is a composite material
@ashleygoggs5679

Composite is a funny word though, everyone knows what carbon fiber is, but in terms of composite materials this can mean so many different materials. Composite is generally a term used when trying to hold secrets for example Challenger 2 composite armor dorchester. If they said it was carbon fiber its not a secret, if they say composite it can be any number of materials.

A composite is a material made up of two or more materials that have different properties. Carbon fibre on its own is not a composite material.

It’s a material used in composites but dry prepreg carbon fibre isn’t a composite.

Matrix and binder isn't a composite ?
Beautiful! Thats what the Thyphoon needs! Shorter update cycles and always upgrade to the latest thecnology, the Thyphoon is a awesome machine and partners should take the most advantages from such a great plataform, because i think this will be the last of the great fighters, after all that nonsense AI and UAV's will end up a mess
Excellent video, presentation, retention, details, Filmography and editing.

Sort of. They’ve had an equivalent in the previous generation of Typhoon helmet for years now that did a lot of the same things. It’s actually too early to determine the differences at the moment, so we’ll have to wait and see. What’s a fact, though, is that BAE’s helmets are bleeding edge, and the only one that can match American technology.

@@tacticalsapper Hes not wrong. New helmets let you see "through" the vehicle. The F35 was the aircraft that pretty much "proved" that its usefull. Their tryna use it on tanks aswell now. I see it more useful in tanks lowkey, since you really need the extra situational awareness. Fighters at least have a window. Its basically a glorified VR headset in a sense lol
This is Borg technology for sure!
Interesting thing: It is BAE systems not BA systems
Will this helmet be used by all operators of the Eurofighter or is everybody developing their own?

The RAF are supporting the integration testing, but ultimately it’s BAe Systems providing technology to Eurofighter Typhoon, which is a multinational venture. So there aren’t technology sharing issues. Whether other nations will purchase it/can afford it is a different question.
This means that in the future, aircraft will only carry an engine and a computer connected to the helmet, and no interfaces will be installed on the dashboard

Depending on how you define interface. It is still going to be useful to have a permanent display of some stuff and the associated knobs and switches. Stuff like ejection, main on/off, trigger, number pad, etc. But it is true that we are moving away from most of the conventional knobs, switches, gauge, etc.

@@antonytsai6611 Yes, people with cheap brains think that the f35 is invisible. It’s not. It’s just low observable on the high accuracy bands used for targeting: it’s still easily seen on the detection bands. Which means that you have a good enough lock on stick an IR scanner on it and guide in a missile via a datalink - which the f35 is a sitting duck for because it has the biggest heat signature and poorest energy retention of any fighter in the sky. By an enormous margin - its sustained evasion g is half a typhoon’s. Which is why eg the US navy ordered a new fleet of jammer planes to support the F35, and eg the UK and Japan are investing big money in urgently developing more capable aircraft even though the uk hasn’t got the f35 in service yet. The aircraft is so late that changes in technology have made its version of stealth of very limited use.

@dogsnads5634

They could, but that would likely need to come with the new large area screen that BAE have developed to use alongside the ECRS Mk.II radar. Put the 3 together and you could remove the HUD. But....therehave been reports from F-35 pilots that they miss having a HUD, despite the helmet. Whats not clear is if that is older pilots who have transitioned across to F-35 from other jets so are used to having a HUD, or if the same requests are coming from pilots who have started their careers on F-35. I suspect the former rather than the latter.

With a good situational awareness you're more likely to be able to avoid the S400's engagement zone in the first place. You will still have more mental bandwidth to handle your navigation and ECM because you're spending less mental effort on flying and understanding where your threats are.

All jokes aside, the Rafale is pretty comparable with the Typhoon, being better at low level flight (optimised for carrier ops) rather than the Typhoon's strength in intercepting. No chance in hell the J-10 or the F-16 would ever be comparable to either with their meteor missiles. Unless youre joking im pretty sure youve got yourself on some false information ngl.
