| Product: high altitude pressure helmet Model: ZSh-7 Availability: ships within 5-12 business days Origin: Russian Federation PRODUCT DETAILS: MiG's can operate at the edge of the earth's atmosphere. Their crews wear high-altitude suits (similar to spacesuits) and these ZSh-7 high altitude pressure helmets. We have a few ZSh-5 and ZSh-7 helmets in stock. ZSh-3 inchess are the world's most widely used jet-age helmet (worn in virtually every type of Russian aircraft - MiG-17 to MiG-29 fighters, Il-76 cargo planes and Mi-24 attack helicopters). Padded aluminum shell has notch in top to mate with padded ridge of Shz-50 leather helmet (leather helmet and KM-32 O2 mask included). GSh-4 inchess were introduced in late '50s (dispelling the myth that these were copied from Francis Gary Powers' particular MA-2 helmet following the downing of his U-2 spy plane in 1960). Used for high-altitude flight in MiG-19, MiG-21 and Su-15 fighters. Aluminum frame and shell, rubber pressure seal, oxygen regulator and visor with internal heating element. ZSh-7 inchess, issued since '87, are used by MiG-29 pilots with KM-34 O2 masks. Recent versions incorporated helmet-mounting bracket for target aiming system. All in excellent condition. |
