Yep! Straight out of someone's sales brocheur.

How about coming up with some facts instead? As we're discussing the helmet and its capability for mitigating the lack of rearward vis, why not take the opportunity to show us just what it can do. This is not particularly new technology, albeit a huge development of it. So, what picture does the pilot get whilst staring backwards at the seat headbox or the rear cockpit firewall? How well can he/she gauge target aspect, range, range rate and control surface deflection?

Do you think you might actually come up with some real answers or will this fall into your "too-difficult" box and remain ignored?
