Abstract
A simplified-fitting modular helmet resistant to aerodynamic stresses. The helmet has a base helmet and module, and includes between these two parts two lateral linking devices and an upper linking device. The linking devices include a finger secured to the module inserted into a socket secured to the base helmet and latchable in the assembled position of the helmet by a device of the quarter of a revolution type. The lateral fingers permit a small lateral clearance between the two parts of the helmet. Such a helmet may find particular application as an aircraft pilot helmet.
