, NEUILLY-SUR-SEINE, France: Thales Helmet Mounted Sight and Display (HMDS) TopSight-E, selected by the Russian Aircraft Corporation for the MiG-29, has successfully withstood harsh windblast evaluations, consisting of gusts up to 1100 km/h (595 Kts), in Russian test facilities.
This test simulates the most demanding potential ejection phase in which the pilot would leave the cockpit by his seat and enter external airflow. During this phase, the HMSD has to remain intact and continue to protect the pilot's head.
This success demonstrates Thales know-how, and technical expertise, which is essential for pilot safety. Thales
