After listening to Kopin's CC They Should Change Their Name to Kopin/F-35

The question about potential delays in the program seemed to have unhinged Dr. Fan a bit. The weight question is still being hashed out inside the program. Not only the weight of the helmet (the tolerances are being shaved by ounces to make ejection safe). Additionally smaller pilots down to 135 pounds (read female pilots) are of particular concern to the program now. As constituted they cannot eject safely from the plane. Problems with the display are popping up as well as the contrast of the helmet does not allow for precise identification of targets. The program according to it's director has 18 months to iron these things out. Things can change.
The hyperbole of hundreds of millions of dollars of rev over the life of the program is totally unrealistic.  They have a portion of FWS-I, how much?, remains to be seen.  If they had any portion of FWS-S or FWS-C (Sniper/Crew) they would have ballyhooed that up and dow. They did not, that would indicate eMagin gets all of that.The last questioner appears to have hung up on Doctor Fan. Pie in the Sky?
