    摘要: An evacuation assembly of an aircraft includes an evacuation slide and a sheet coupled to the evacuation slide. The sheet may be deployable in a wind curtain configuration and a canopy configuration. In the wind curtain configuration, the sheet may extend, as a substantially vertical panel, longitudinally along opposing lateral sides of the evacuation slide. In the canopy configuration the sheet may extend over at least a portion of a top side of the evacuation slide. In the canopy configuration, the sheet may include a first portion that is the substantially vertical panel that extends longitudinally along the opposing lateral sides of the evacuation slide and a second portion that extends over the top side of the evacuation slide. The second portion of the curtain may in a furled, collapsed form in the wind curtain configuration and may be configured to unfurl in the canopy configuration.

    摘要: Systems and methods for a heated gas cylinder assembly are disclosed. The heated gas cylinder assembly may comprise a cylinder shell and a heat exchanger disposed within the cylinder shell. The heat exchanger and the cylinder shell may define an interior chamber configured to hold a gas mixture. The heat exchanger may comprise an inner bore configured to receive a pyrotechnic composition. In response to igniting the pyrotechnic composition, the heat exchanger may provide thermal conduction to the gas mixture. The gas mixture may be simultaneously heated and released, or the gas mixture may be preheated before release.

    摘要: An aspirator assembly for an inflatable device may have an inner housing disposed about an axis with an outlet formed through the inner housing. An outer housing may also be disposed about the axis with a surface of the outer housing covering the outlet. The outer housing may be translatable relative to the inner housing to expose the outlet in response to a gas pressure within the aspirator assembly being above a threshold.
