ABSTRACT:
The helmet of the present invention comprises an air deflector or boundary layer control device disposed over the top and sides of the helmet's outer shell. In the preferred embodiment the air deflector is a wicker formed of a strip of rubber or a similar material, which is disposed along the top and sides of the outer shell of the helmet. The helmet of the present invention also comprises a spoiler disposed along the bottom of the front and sides of the helmet's outer shell. The wicker and spoiler interact with the air flowing by the helmet at high speeds to reduce the effects of lift, thrust, pitch and buffeting on the helmet.
