When BAE Systems presented its Tempest air vehicle mock-up at last year's Farnborough air show, the replica aircraft was set up with a cockpit running virtual reality software in a Striker Ⅱ headset, an integrated, visor-projected, helmet-mounted display system developed by BAE Systems and used by Typhoon.
