ABSTRACT
Objective To optimize the helicopter pilot helmet with mounted display in order to enhance wearing comfort.Methods The problems of the helmet were analyzed,and the trends of the helmet were discussed in foreign countries and China,and then optimization was carried out from the aspects of function,structure,design,material and etc.Results Optimization measures were proposed from the aspects of safety protection,ergonomics,platform display,night vision,tracking and positioning,material and industrial art to improve the designs of all functional modules of the helmet.Theoretical references were provided for the design of lightweight and tailored helmet.Conclusion Aviation ergonomics has to be considered to enhance wearing comfort and reliability when designing new-type helicopter pilot helmet with mounted display.
