    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.

    Abstract: An evacuation slide may comprise an inflatable side rail extending from a head end to a toe end of the evacuation slide. A lifeline-geometric restraint may be coupled to the inflatable side rail. A restraint pin may be coupled to the lifeline-geometric restraint. A first loop may be coupled to a first location on the evacuation slide. A second loop may be coupled to a second location on the evacuation slide. The first loop may be configured to receive the second loop and the second loop may be configured to receive the restraint pin when the evacuation slide is in a folded position. The restraint pin may be configured to translate out the second loop in response to an internal pressure of the evacuation slide exceeding a predetermined internal pressure.
