comanche helmet?
Posted by Ti4019 on Sunday, October 18, 2009 12:45 AM

Im about to embark on a rather quick build of a Comanche, I scored the Italari kit ( well thats no score but lets just say I found one at a decent enough price).

I want to update the interior a bit in the short time I have to biuld it and would like to add a helmet to perch on the sill.  

I take it that the Comanche would have had a new helmet with integrated optics and tracking and position system installed.  If someone has the type number of the helmet I can track that down.

 

Thanks!

 

If you aren't having fun, you're doing it wrong! Build to please yourself and they will flame you every time!

Not sure whether there was an official stock numbered helmet or not. I worked in the Comanche TSM before retiring and while I only flew the motion and non-motion simulators to evaluate aircraft systems I'm not sure there ever was a helmet that went into production. We used a helmet that had dual optics and the displays were displayed on both optics. I'll dig around my junk room and see if I have any pictures of the helmet and post them. Again, I'm don't think any real helmet went into production though. I believe they were all just research helmets.
