RESEARCH FOR A HEAD ENCLOSURE FOR AEROSPACE ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract

A comprehensive study was made of possible design and fabrication approaches for a lightweight head enclosure for aerospace environments. The prototype dome was designed and developed following careful evaluation of the requirements. The transparent hemispherical dome is hinged in the back and is attached to the standard A/P 22S-2 full pressure suit by aluminum locking rings. The convoluted neck joint restraint material is LinkNet of Dacron. The mode is supported by braces resting on the shoulders. An anti-buffeting helmet of lightweight cotton twill houses the energy absorbing pads of Ensolite, the communication system and Straightaway Ear Protectors.
