flight helmet

Aviator's protective cap

A flight helmet is protective headgear worn by pilots and aircrew, designed to shield against impact, noise, and environmental hazards.

Modern flight helmets integrate communication systems, oxygen mask attachments, and sometimes heads-up displays or night vision mounts.

Military versions offer more protection than civilian models: The fighter pilot secured her flight helmet before takeoff.
