Description
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.
It is a next level product for flight crews, improving comfort while providing improved field
of vison and enhanced safety performance.”
Todd Lentz, Senior Vice President of LIFT Airborne, shared his excitement about the
agreement. “LIFT Airborne Technologies is extremely excited about the strategic
partnership with Aeroforce Logistics. With over 50 years of combined experience in
Aerospace, Defense and Logistics, Aeroforce was a natural fit for our “Choose Better”
mentality. We strongly believe partnering with Aeroforce will only strengthen our success
when it comes to delivering our customers the AV2.2 Next Generation Fixed Wing Helmet
solution.”

a Value-Added Distributor of products and services for the global Aerospace, Maritime and
Vehicle Markets. Founded in 2016, Aeroforce has rapidly expanded our portfolio and reach
to provide solutions across the industry.
