“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.

[@tdolan500]

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

[@foufou81]

Matrix and binder isn't a composite ?

[@HayMaker-tv2dm]

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

[@LewisMacdonaldMedia]

Excellent video, presentation, retention, details, Filmography and editing.

[@Johngore747]

It was like watching a DJ interview scientists.

[@Eurofighter-Typhoon]

Thanks for your feedback! Glad you enjoyed 👍🏼

[@SpartasEdge]

Even the name of it is cool.

[@SpartasEdge]

This helmet looks like something out of science fiction.

[@Eurofighter-Typhoon]

Doesn't it? The technology behind the helmet is truly cutting-edge, combining advanced tech with futuristic design. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@GermanAviationguy]

So its basically an F-35 helmet

[@jacobbaumgardner3406]

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.

[@DCrypt1]

​@@jacobbaumgardner3406 you forgot the Israelis

[@jacobbaumgardner3406]

@@DCrypt1 on not sure if the Israeli’s have helmet tech on par.

[@tacticalsapper]

That statement is at the same quality level as saying: "The F-35 uses jet propulsion, it is basically an Me 262."

[@honkhonk8009]

@@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

[@MyFluffyClouds]

This is Borg technology for sure!

[@thomasgunther]

Will this helmet be used by all operators of the Eurofighter or is everybody developing their own?

[@bigjohn697791]

I suspect its British only they may share some tech but they will want to keep as much in house a bit like what the US does sometimes

[@kaeseblock1362]

I think I saw a Gen 1 helmet of these used in a German Eurofighter.

[@Johngore747]

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.

[@zahnatom]

Will be available for at least the 4 development countries. The German parliament has or will vote on an acquisition

[@farid47an]

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

[@hephaestion12]

😂 Seems more likely we sit the pilot on the ground and make the fighter terrifyingly autonomous

[@alphahawkgames6896]

Likely not they will need a fail safe

[@jintsuubest9331]

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.

[@honkhonk8009]

The latency would be insane. AI wingmen are totally different thing

[@TheGreatAmphibian]

@@honkhonk8009 And why do you think that?

[@jacobyeomans1003]

Interesting thing: It is BAE systems not BA systems

[@SimonFerocius]

Eurofighter : Striker II basically an advanced helmet for pilot Turkey: what pilot?

[@JMatic-xk9vq]

Russia really shouldnt have pissed of NATO

[@TheGreatAmphibian]

Yes, the poor Russians. All they have are hypersonic missiles, the worlds best SAMs, the only fighters with 3D thrust vectoring, and the ability to produce more artillery shells than the entire west. But… cool helmets!

[@Krishnendu792]

And NATO clearly did give ruskies a lot of trouble, maybe that's why 2/3 Rd of Ukraine is under Russian control. Cool helmet tho...ngl!

[@treanttrooper6349]

​@@TheGreatAmphibian BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAA, you are so full of shit 😂😂😂😂

[@antonytsai6611]

@@TheGreatAmphibian best SAMs? yeah sure 3d thrust vectoring but that doesn't matter when you can't even detect your opponent

[@TheGreatAmphibian]

@@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.

[@phuoc-huutran6303]

How much does Striker 2 cost ? and ..... can I order it on ...Amazon ? 😀😀😀😂😂😂

[@senilestix]

WTF... 7000 volts into the Helmet!? "I DON'T BELIEVE THAT!!!

[@BobbyJobling]

CRT TVs, the HT lead voltage can be between 10000 to 35000V....

[@Terracotta-warriors_Sea]

With such a high end helmet why dont they do away with the HUD, like in F35!

[@AaronZockt]

I guess it's much cheaper to keep the HUD then to get rid of it in every Eurofighter this helmet will be used on. And some redundancy can't hurt anyways ^^

[@thorluis226]

They are going to, but the helmet is still a prototype at the moment

[@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.

[@specc_s1452]

That's getting integrated with the new cockpit i think

[@B-A-L]

They'll probably use the Typhoon as a testbed and then fully integrate it into the Tempest fighter program.

[@keepingcalm6469]

I apologize for my countryman to mimic jeremy clarkson in such a cheap manner.

[@timmurphy5541]

I like him. They don't know how to respond and that is funny :-)

[@vladimirb.9538]

An S400 missile really does not care whether you are flying PS5 or Apple Vision style…

[@timmurphy5541]

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.

[@IezekiLLL]

before that, the S-400 will be destroyed by a converted Cessna for 50 thousand dollars

[@dawn_alex]

The helmet is good but the plane is trash. F16s and Rafales do better job.

[@jamesworkshop9325]

Bluds waffling the f-16 is centuries old and the Rafale is french

[@dawn_alex]

​@@jamesworkshop9325 Still everyone buying upgraded F16s. And yea Rafales are French, so what. I just said Rafales are miles better than Eurofighter Tychoon. Even those metal scrap of Chinese J10s are dec!mating Typhoons in excercises.

[@jamesworkshop9325]

@@dawn_alex Since when? 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.
