FAST EVACUATION SYSTEM FOR AIRCRAFT

摘要

Fast evacuation device for an aircraft. An inflatable slide (18) is placed in a housing (20) close to an access door (16) to a cabin (14) of an aircraft. More precisely, the housing (20) is located in a pressurised area of the aircraft but outside the wall delimiting the cabin (14). Thus, there is no constraint for delimiting the housing (20) on the inside of the aircraft. On the outside, the housing (20) is closed by a hatch (24) capable of resisting the pressure. A lock (30) normally keeps the hatch (24) fixed in the closed position. A mechanism (32) connects this lock (30) to the door (16) when the slide arming system (33) is armed. Opening the door (16) then unlocks the hatch (24) that is then opened due to inflation of the slide (18).
