Think like an engineer: Design a racing helmet
Wearing a helmet can save your life. There is no question about that when it comes to racing. It's a requirement. The helmet protects drivers from impact and allows them to communicate via radio with their crew. They are designed to have a hard outer shell and an inner layer of special crushable foam. Both of these layers help disperse the crash energy and protect the brain. Just imagine, most racecar drivers are reaching speeds of over 200 miles per hour, resulting in impact reaching 50 to 100Gs. At those G's, a helmet is your best friend.
Get creative with design in class
In this project, you have been invited to design a concept Formula One race car helmet using Autodesk® Fusion360. The helmet must support the highest degree of safety and comfort to the user. The design aesthetic must convey speed and the style and culture of Formula One racing.

Reviews
Hi, it seems that the assets don't match the helmet design. The tutorials are about Inventor (not Fusion) and the dataset is about the F1 Racing Car. Am I correct, or am I missing the point? BTW, Great initiative!
grtz, Hans
nice work
