Abstract: The evacuation assembly may include an evacuation slide having a head portion, a toe portion, a longitudinal axis, a top surface, and a bottom surface. In various embodiments, the longitudinal axis extends centrally along a length of the evacuation slide from the head portion to the toe portion. In various embodiments, a top perimetrical length of the top surface of the toe portion of the evacuation slide in a width direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis is less than a bottom perimetrical length of the bottom surface of the toe portion of the evacuation slide in the width direction.

Abstract: An integrated spoiler may comprise a side tube having a tube wall, wherein the tube wall has a first edge and a second edge, wherein the first edge is disposed proximate a portion of the tube wall; a seam proximate the first edge and the portion of the tube wall; a coupling across the seam configured to inhibit the exchange of gas across the seam; a flap comprising the second edge and extending outward of the seam; and a ligament. The flap may further comprise an angle θ between the flap and an outer surface of the tube wall wherein the ligament is configured to restrain angle θ at a maximum. The flap may be configured to pivot about the seam through angle θ in response to an aerodynamic force.

Abstract: An aspirator system for inflating an inflatable evacuation device includes an aspirator body having a plurality of flapper doors configured to open to allow intake of atmospheric gas. The aspirator system also includes an aspirator barrel connecting the aspirator body to the inflatable evacuation device, having connected inflation chambers wrapping around a circumference of the aspirator barrel and arranged along a length of the aspirator barrel, and being configured to provide an aspirator barrel chamber for guiding the atmospheric gas to the inflatable evacuation device when the aspirator barrel is inflated. The aspirator system also includes a showerhead nozzle connected to the connected inflation chambers, configured to direct high-pressure gas to inflate the aspirator barrel and compel intake of atmospheric gas through the plurality of flapper doors, to inflate the inflatable evacuation device.
