AV2 Vendetta Fixed Wing Helmet

The first fixed-wing flight helmet in history to pass the U.S. Air Force’s 600 KEAS ejection sled test — one of the most extreme and demanding milestones in military aviation.

The AV2 also successfully completed over 50 additional MIL‑STD tests, establishing a new standard for fixed-wing helmet systems.

The AV2 Vendetta is the result of a six-year collaboration between LIFT Airborne and the U.S. Air Force through the AFWERX innovation program.

Designed from the ground up to meet the needs of modern aircrews, AV2 reimagines the fixed-wing helmet from shell to optics — delivering unmatched safety, comfort, and mission adaptability.
