This publication recommends optimal design and material factors for consideration in the development of flight protective eyewear (FPE). FPE provides protection from dust, flying debris, and ballistic hazards. This publication highlights those state-of-the-art features that should serve as the existing standard model in the development of FPE. In general, FPE should provide the maximum possible field of view and be lightweight, comfortable, and compatible with existing aircrew equipment assemblies while avoiding harm during accidents. Included in this report is design guidance relating to FPE, the FPE List, and a report of findings from the Aircrew Ballistic Protective Eyewear Study II.
