It ’s probably quite a bit different when you see one from inside a plane , but from down here on the earth , watching aeroplane evacuation chute deploy is somewhat bloody mesmerize . Thankfully , Core77 just uncoveredsome great footage of the slides being both made and tested .

The production process is understandably grueling ; accommodate something mean to contain the weightiness of hundreds of humans into a space or so 2 - feet - wide ai n’t easy . shed in the fact that it need to be air - tight and flame retardation , and it sound damn virtually impossible . Which is partially why , other than the slip of 800 - some - odd pieces , virtually the entire matter is put together by hand .
The really mad part , though , is the fact that these slides necessitate to deploy — i.e. be filled with 25 cubic meters of air — in under 6 seconds . To do this , they fill a tank with a mixture of carbon dioxide and atomic number 7 , which pressurize to over 3,000 PSI . That ’s about 100 time the pressure of a typical car tyre . And that ’s only a third of the breeze take . The cylinder actually connect to two respirators , which utilize its huge pressure to imbibe in outside breeze and fulfill the slide as tight as potential .
And judging from the video below , that is one effective organization .
