The shells of the next generation of United States Air Force (USAF) helmets will be manufactured in Bahrain. Bell Racing Helmets has developed and produced the next generation Fixed Wing Flight Helmet (NGFWH) for the USAF.“We have been researching and developing a concept for the shell of the helmet for the last five years in collaboration with Lift Airborne Technologies,” Bell Racing Helmets chief executive and Racing Force Group chief business officer and Bahrain managing director Aref Yazbek told the GDN.

“Only the shell will be manufactured here, and its design is inspired by some of the other helmets we produce.”The collaboration between Bell Racing Helmets and Lift began in 2018 when the former participated in a USAF innovation programme for the NGFWH.This was followed by a technical collaboration in 2020, and in 2022, Racing Force Group and Lift Airborne Technologies inked a deal to manufacture the carbon shells, after the latter won the NGFWH competition. The helmet was exhibited during the Bahrain International Air Show held in November last year.
