 Air Flow: the Helmet That Defies the WindIt is called "Air Flow" and has been designed by Pininfarina the new concept of helmet that Newmax, leading company in the segment of luxury helmets, presents on its stand at the International Motorcycle Exhibition.Like the car bodies designed by Pininfarina, the "Air Flow System" project was created to cut through the wind so as to optimize the performance of the helmet and favour the circulation of air to increase the comfort of the motorcyclist. High transpiration of the materials and fluidity of forms: these are the keywords around which Pininfarina Extra's designers created this new concept helmet. The first novelty, in fact, is the outer surface that is soft to the touch, because made of transpiring technical fabric. What does this fabric conceal? A shell conveniently pierced in three areas (at the back and sides) in which three pierced and shaped inserts in technopolymer are set. These "flow intakes" allow air to circulate inside the cap and the moisture inside to escape and, thanks to their design, they model the forms of the helmet aerodynamically, creating the superpressions and depressions necessary to the correct functioning of the system of ventilation. The fabric, stretched over the shell, not only follows the dynamism of the forms and allows the air to transpire, but it creates a waterproof filter impermeable to water and moisture. more Air Flow: the Helmet That Defies the Wind design directory Pininfarina > Car Design Companies added by Levent OZLER |
