Aerolite One, the single seat liferaft (SSLR) from global Survival Technology solutions provider Survitec, has received official US Navy designation LRU-38/P for use on F/A-18 Super Hornet and T-45 Goshawk aircraft.
Specifically developed to meet the evolving needs of fast jet pilots, Aerolite One’s compact and lightweight design creates additional space for critical mission-specific survival aids in the pilot’s personal survival pack (PSP). Completion of the US Navy’s demanding testing programme demonstrates performance and validates the design of Aerolite One for use in extreme conditions, ensuring the user is provided with emergency flotation and protection from cold water in the event of an ejection over water.
Aerolite One utilises advanced materials and manufacturing techniques to create a single seat liferaft that exceeds in-water, seakeeping and thermal protection performance requirements while minimising pack volume and weight. The result offers a solution that is 20% lighter than existing products and up to 56% less packed volume.
“The US Navy’s stringent tests are devised to ensure the LRU-38/P design delivers exceptional protection in the most challenging conditions and provides significantly increased space for critical survival aids to be carried in the PSP,” said Nicholas Mulhall, Survitec’s Business Development Director – Aerospace and Defence. “Pilots in over 50 countries fly safe in Survitec on one of 41 platforms in addition to F/A-18.
“This official designation from the US Navy is a critical milestone towards our most advanced single seat liferaft entering service,” said Mulhall. “Once US Navy product validation testing is complete, Aerolite One LRU-38/P will enter the market as an upgrade for legacy SSLR designs such as LRU-16/P, LRU-23/P, MK15, MK17, Type 18 and 19.”
