  • Safety helmet with an aerodynamic stabilizing element
    Patent number: 11166509
    Abstract: A safety helmet, in particular a safety helmet for drivers of single-track motorcycles, is provided. The safety helmet includes at least one movable aerodynamic stabilizing element and at least one sensor element for detecting one or more current driving state variables. The aerodynamic stabilizing element is controlled depending on at least one current driving state variable detected by the sensor element. An actuator element for moving the aerodynamic stabilizing element may be provided, and may be controlled by a control unit depending on at least one current driving state variable detected by the sensor element. One or more of the sensor element, actuator element and the controller may be supplied with electrical energy from an energy supply unit.
