A helmet mounted display, mounting for night vision goggles and/or a helmet tracking system (so the aircraft knows where the pilot is looking). The design of a flight helmet may also consider: [1] Comfort – including the weight, centre of gravity and provision for cooling and ventilation.
Helen Kerly's helmet from World War II. Roald Dahl's RAF flying helmet from World War II, fitted with oxygen mask and communications equipment. A leather flying helmet, also known as an aviator hat, bomber hat or soft flight helmet, is a usually leather cap with large earflaps, a chin strap, and often a short bill that is commonly turned up at the front to show the lining (often fleece or fur).
The line between the pilot's eye and the reticle on the visor is known as the line of sight (LOS) between the aircraft and the intended target. The user's eye must stay aligned with the sight; in other words, current HMDs cannot sense where the eye is looking, but can place a predicted impact point marker between the eye and the target.
Fighter pilots are testing a new lightweight helmet that could allow for better visibility when engaging enemy jets. The helmet also fits female pilots better. F-22 Pilots Are Now Testing the Air ...
The concept is similar to the whirling helicopter seeds that fall from some trees. The name gyropter is sometimes applied to monocopters in which the entire aircraft rotates about its center of mass as it flies. The name "monocopter" has also been applied to the personal jet pack constructed by Andreas Petzoldt. [1]
Aircraft with a cockpit/nacelle may be operated only by pilots with more than 50 hours of solo flight experience following the issue of their licence. Open-frame aircraft are restricted to a minimum speed of 30 mph (48 km/h; 26 kn), except in the flare. All aircraft are restricted to a Vne (maximum airspeed) of 70 mph (110 km/h; 61 kn)
An Aérospatiale Alouette II anti-tank helicopter of the German Army armed with SS.10 missiles. High-intensity warfare is characterized by large arrays of conventional armed forces, including mass formations of tanks, with significant air defenses. Helicopter armament and tactics were changed to account for a less-permissive flight environment.
The cockpit of a Slingsby T-67 Firefly two-seat light airplane.The flight instruments are visible on the left of the instrument panel. Flight instruments are the instruments in the cockpit of an aircraft that provide the pilot with data about the flight situation of that aircraft, such as altitude, airspeed, vertical speed, heading and much more other crucial information in flight.
