Abstract
An aspirator assembly for enabling rapid inflation of evacuation slides and life rafts is configured for direct attachment to the inflatable article. The aspirator assembly comprises an open-ended body housing, a nozzle arrangement for introducing a pressurized fluid into the aspirator and toward a pair of counter-rotating impeller arrangements. The counter-rotating impeller arrangements allow for minimizing the internal forces to enable the stable mounting of the aspirator to the inflatable article without causing damage to the article material during operation.
