A new typhoon helmet that allows pilots to look at multiple targets, lock on and then fire using voice commands has gone on display in London.

Designed by BAE Systems the new super helmet is expected to go into service with the RAF later this year.

The helmet was one of the things on display at the Big Bang Fair. The event aims to encourage young people into thinking about a career in science and technology.

There was also a chance for visitors to get up close with the military and find out about equipment being used on the ground in Afghanistan.

Wing Commander Andy Green, the driver of the Bloodhound car which is attempting to break the land speed record, was also at the fair.

National Science and Engineering Week runs between 11th-20th March.
