The U.S. Army is developing an Aircrew Integrated Helmet System to replace the current flight helmets. The HGU-56/P flight helmet is proposed in six sizes with a new fitting method based on a nonstandard measure of the aviator head length. Standard anthropometric head measurements and the Gentex Corporation fitting method for the HGU-56/P flight helmet are evaluated to determine the applicability of the fitting method and distribution of helmet sizes required to fit the U.S. Army aviator population. Two hundred forty-two volunteer aviators had standard anthropometric measurements of their heads. Each was fitted with an HGU-561P flight helmet in their recommended size) and a helmet one size larger and one size smaller than recommended. ANVIS compatibility with each helmet was tested for a subset of the subjects.... Anthropometric, Flight helmet, Fitting, Night vision goggles, HGU-56/P.
