Helmet for an F35 is $400k! Seems about right...:eek

They're so heavy, there's a weight restriction (minimum) for pilots. May break a neck on ejection...

2014 was the first year of the current hybrid power units. But I would imagine with all the development over the last three years they are a good bit more $$$$ to any team that has to lease them.
