Abstract:

A urethane foam formulation has been developed to produce foamed-in-place helmet liners for Air Force crash or flying helmets. High density urethane foam helmet liners has been foamed-in-place directly on the flying crew members head, producing a perfectly fitting helmet liner with a minimum of time, labor and inconvenience. These liners were produced at an extremely modest cost. Design and fabrication of a suitable mold in which the helmet liner is foamed has demonstrated that the concept of foamed-in-place helmet liner is practical and desirable.
