Abstract: An aspirator system for inflating an inflatable device includes an aspirator body and a plurality of nozzles. The aspirator body has an inner surface and an outer surface that each extend between a first end and a second end along a central longitudinal axis. The aspirator body defines a distribution channel that is disposed between the inner surface and the outer surface. The plurality of nozzles are fluidly connected to the distribution channel and extend inwardly from the inner surface towards but are spaced apart from the central longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A heated inflation system for an inflatable device on an aircraft is provided. The heated inflation system includes an inflation cylinder configured to hold a gas mixture under pressure, a heating element configured to selectively heat the gas mixture, and a temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature of the gas mixture. The heated inflation system also includes a control module coupled to the heating element and the temperature sensor. The control module is configured to regulate heat applied by the heating element to the gas mixture based on a sensed temperature from the temperature sensor.
