摘要

FIELD: aeronautical engineering; keeping the aircraft afloat in case of emergency water landing for rescue of passengers and crew. SUBSTANCE: rescue system is provided with inflatable bottle 1, air intake 2, drive 3 and outer cover-fairing. Inflatable bottle has hole in its front portion for admitting the atmospheric air inside it and soft hose 8 which is connected to air intake by means of band 9; air intake 2 is closed with cover 10. Atmospheric air is admitted to inflatable bottle through air intake 2, hose 8 and shut-off valve under action of velocity head, thus filling the bottle. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency and reliability; simplified construction; quick placing of system in operation before alighting on water. 14 dwgi
