Aerolite One Go-Raft

Compact, Grab-and-Go Survival Solution for Aircrew

The Aerolite One Go-Raft is a compact and portable Single Seat Liferaft (SSLR) designed to provide aircrew with essential flotation and survival support in overwater emergencies. Developed to meet the increasing operational demand for space-saving life-saving equipment, the Go-Raft offers a lightweight, grab-and-go solution that can be stowed easily and deployed rapidly when needed.

Utilising the proven Aerolite One design, the Go-Raft minimises both size and weight while maintaining robust performance. It is ideal for missions where space is at a premium, such as rotary and fixed-wing aircraft operations over water, providing reliable flotation and environmental protection in critical survival situations.

Performance

Designed for speed, agility and control, our solutions excel under the extreme demands of fast jet flight. By reducing pilot fatigue and supporting physical resilience, we enable greater endurance in high-intensity missions, helping ensure sustained performance and mission success, even in the most challenging conditions.

Innovation

We’re shaping the future of fast jet capability through next-generation innovation. From cutting-edge material sciences to advanced G-protection system architectures, our solutions are designed to enhance pilot performance and survivability. Innovative textiles and smart integration elevate protection and efficiency, setting new standards for the cockpit and beyond.

Protection

Protection in fast jet environments demands intelligent integration. Our systems are designed to safeguard pilots against thermal extremes, high-G forces and operational hazards. From cockpit survivability to environmental resilience, every element is engineered to preserve capability when it matters most.
