The design, manufacture and certification of emergency inflation systems for helicopters

Abstract

Describes the key elements of emergency inflation system design and highlights the considerations that have to be determined during the progress of the project. In addition, identifies and discusses some of the typical problems that have to be resolved, primarily because most of the older aircraft in service were designed without consideration for the installation of emergency inflation equipment.
