🕶️ See-through pricing

I sat in a fighter jet simulator once and couldn’t find the brakes. Remember those comic book ads promising X-ray specs for a buck? The Pentagon found a version that works. Naturally, it costs $400,000.

F-35 pilots get custom helmets fed video from six infrared cameras around the aircraft, letting them look through the cockpit floor and see what’s underneath. The visor also handles night vision and overlays targeting information from hundreds of miles away. It’s basically a wearable control room doing 1,000-ish mph.

Childhood dream achieved. Minor catch: You also need the jet. Plane English.
