Abstract:
In one embodiment of a multi-exit evacuation slide for an aircraft, an inflatable evacuation slide for emergency evacuation includes two coupled inflatable portions. The first inflatable portion, which includes a first inclined sliding surface, is configured to provide downward egress from an over-wing exit. Similarly, the second inflatable portion, which includes a second inclined surface, is likewise configured to provide downward egress from a non over-wing exit. In particular embodiments, the inflatable portions are configured to be deployed from a storage location proximate the over-wing and non over-wing exits. In other embodiments, at least one of the first and second inflatable portions includes a lateral area for horizontal movement. In alternative embodiments, the inflatable evacuation slide further includes a divider rail disposed between the first inflatable portion and the second inflatable portion.
