Inside the $400,000 helmet used by F-35 pilots
An advanced helmet used by F-35 fighter pilots is drawing attention for functions that go beyond protection. The third-generation Helmet Mounted Display System links the aircraft’s sensors to the visor to display flight and combat information and provide an augmented-reality view that can appear to see through the airframe. A 2015 U.S. Air Force estimate put the price at about $400,000 each. Development faced early technical and safety issues before improvements.

Two-seat electric bikes spread, raising overlooked safety points
As electric bikes that can carry an adult passenger increase rapidly, calls are growing for separate safety standards for two-person riding. Analysts say riding with two people creates different physical conditions than normal use, requiring additional preparation as e-bikes expand beyond leisure into car-alternative transport. Key issues include manufacturer approval for passengers, total weight limits, braking performance, passenger kits, posture and coordination, bike setup and tire pressure, infrastructure constraints and checking local regulations.
