Abstract: An evacuation slide may comprise a first sill height compensating feature coupled to an upper main support tube and a second sill height compensating feature coupled to the upper main support tube, wherein the first sill height compensating feature and the second sill height compensating feature extend longitudinally past the sliding surface of the evacuation slide in response to the evacuation slide being deployed. The first sill height compensating feature and the second sill height compensating feature may be configured to increase a vertical distance between the upper main support tube and an exit surface.

Abstract: A light system for an evacuation slide may include a readiness indicator light assembly. The readiness indicator light assembly may comprise a first light emitting diode configured to emit a first color and a second light emitting diode configured to emit a second color. The light system may be configured to power the first light emitting diode after initial deployment of the evacuation slide and to power the second light emitting diode after the internal pressure of the evacuation slide is greater than a minimum pressure threshold.

Abstract: A support arrangement for an inflatable evacuation system may comprise an inflatable member configured to be elongated and stiffened in a longitudinal direction in response to being in an inflated condition, a protrusion extending orthogonal to a surface of the inflatable member, a tensile member attached at at least two locations to the inflatable member on opposing sides of the protrusion and being slidably engagable over the protrusion so as to maintain about equal tension in the tensile member on opposing sides of the protrusion, and a sleeve attached to the protrusion configured to maintain the tensile member laterally relative to the protrusion even as the tensile member is able to slide longitudinally.

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.
