In this episode of the RotorHub International Podcast, Editor Gideon Ewers is joined by David Rogers, Founder of VNE Aero, to discuss the evolution of rotary-wing flight helmets and how efforts to improve impact protection have contributed to heavier, larger systems that can affect aircrew comfort, mobility and long-term health.
Rogers also shares the thinking behind VNE Aero’s Rotary Wing Advanced Tactical Helmet (RATH), including its clean-sheet approach to helmet sizing, hearing and impact protection, and the design challenges involved in developing a lighter and more effective solution for modern rotary-wing aircrew.
