The Gentex HGU-55/GTX Fixed Wing Helmet System maximizes the safety for aircrew throughout Western Europe, the Middle East and Asia through a special configuration of the industry-leading Gentex HGU-55/P Helmet. The helmet system is the only dual-visor aircrew helmet system with a Night Vision Goggle (NVG) quick-disconnect mount qualified for safe ejection at speeds up to 600 KEAS. An integrated protective assembly houses the dual-visor to minimize damage and increase safety during through-canopy ejections.
