David Rogers, Founder, VNE Aero
In this episode of the RotorHub International Podcast, Editor Gideon Ewers is joined by David Rogers, Founder of VNE Aero, to discuss the evolution of rotary-wing flight helmets and how efforts to improve impact protection have contributed to heavier, larger systems that can affect aircrew comfort, mobility and long-term health.
Rogers also shares the thinking behind VNE Aero’s Rotary Wing Advanced Tactical Helmet (RATH), including its clean-sheet approach to helmet sizing, hearing and impact protection, and the design challenges involved in developing a lighter and more effective solution for modern rotary-wing aircrew.
