pilot helmet

Cockpit head protection

A pilot helmet is protective headgear worn by aircraft pilots, particularly military aviators and helicopter crews.

Beyond impact protection, pilot helmets integrate communication systems, oxygen mask attachments, and in advanced military versions, heads-up displays or night vision mounts: The fighter pilot's helmet tracked his eye movements to aim weapons.

Civilian pilots typically wear simpler headsets rather than full helmets.
