A compressed fluid source assembly may comprise: a pressure cylinder configured to receive a compressed fluid source therein; and a surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor coupled to an external surface of the pressure cylinder.

Pressure monitoring systems and methods for pressure bottle

Disclosed is an egress pack for egressing a craft. The egress pack includes an egress aid defining a cavity and an inflation port. The egress pack includes an inflation duct connected with the inflation port for supplying gas to the cavity. The inflation duct defines a flow direction oriented to supply the cavity. The inflation duct defines a first ingress port defined by a first boundary and defining a primary flow path in the flow direction. The inflation duct defines a second ingress port defining a secondary flow path in fluid communication with the primary flow path. The inflation duct defines a divider disposed between the first ingress port and the second ingress port that coincides with the first boundary.

Aircraft egress system

Examples described herein provide a computer-implemented method that includes receiving static data about an aircraft. The method further includes receiving dynamic data about flight conditions for a flight of the aircraft. The method further includes determining, based on the static data and the dynamic data, an amount of air pressure and a volumetric air flow to apply from an electric pump to a deicing device. The method further includes controlling the electric pump to cause the electric pump to apply the amount of air pressure and the volumetric air flow to the deicing device.

Control of electric pump-driven deicer

A system for monitoring compressed fluid sources of an evacuation assembly may comprise a controller and a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the controller. The controller may perform operations, which may comprise receiving a series of first pressure measurements from a first sensor system, receiving a series of second pressure measurements from a second sensor system, calculating a first pressure trend using the series of first pressure measurements, calculating a second pressure trend using the series of second pressure measurements, and comparing each of the first pressure trend and the second pressure trend to a threshold pressure trend.
