LIFT Airborne Technologies selects Aeroforce Logistics as Authorized Distributor of AV2.2 Next Generation Fixed Wing Flyers Helmet and RADIX Bump Helmet Farnborough, UK 22 July 2024 – Aeroforce Logistics and LIFT Airborne Technologies announced that they have entered into a new distribution agreement. LIFT Airborne has selected Aeroforce Logistics to be a global, non-exclusive Authorized Distributor of the AV2.2 Next Generation Fixed Wing Flyers Helmet for the global market. LIFT Airborne Technologies proudly introduces the AV2.2 Next Generation Fixed Wing Helmet, a groundbreaking advancement in pilot headgear. Crafted with precision and designed for excellence, the AV2.2 sets a new standard for safety, comfort and performance. Key features include 21% lighter weight, 22% enhanced center of gravity, 2.6 degree increase field of view, Rotatable Bayonet Receivers, Intelligent Cooling Ports, and Fit System Dial Knob. Air Combat Command (ACC) wanted “a next-generation helmet to address issues with long-term neck and back injuries, optimize aircraft technology, improve pilot longevity, and provide better fitment to diverse aircrews.” Since the early 1980s when the HGU-55/P debuted, “gains in aircraft technology and the demographic of pilots have changed,” Scott Cota, an aircrew flight equipment program analyst with the ACC plans and requirements branch, said in the AFMC statement. “The legacy helmet was not originally designed to support advances in aircraft helmet-mounted display systems, causing pilots to fly with equipment not optimized for them, especially our female aircrew. The implementation of helmet-mounted devices has added weight and changed the center of gravity, leading to discomfort for operators,” per AFMC. “In addition, a 2020 Air Force anthropometric study identified the need to add a size small helmet that better optimizes the fit for affected female aviators, Cota said.” Heather Varney, President of Aeroforce Logistics, notes that Aeroforce continues to grow and provide a diverse range of innovative solutions to our valued customers. “We are excited to expand our portfolio by partnering with LIFT Airborne as their stocking distributor.
