Aerolite One Leg-Raft

Compact, Mission-Ready Life-Saving Solution for Aircrew

The Aerolite One Leg-Raft is a cutting-edge, leg-mounted single seat liferaft (SSLR), developed to address the storage constraints faced by aircrew while maintaining the highest safety standards. Designed for both rotary and fixed-wing aircraft, the Leg-Raft provides a reliable sea survival solution, incorporating the proven design of the Aerolite One Single Seat Liferaft. With its compact size, lightweight construction, and easy donning and doffing via quick-release Cobra® buckles, the Aerolite One Leg-Raft ensures rapid deployment and minimal interference with mission operations.

Vacuum-packed and sealed for extended service intervals, this rugged, fire-retardant liferaft offers unmatched survivability in critical situations, making it an ideal choice for aircrew in aircraft with limited stowage space.

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.
