Revere Survival Aero Compact Life Raft – Compact Safety for Over-Water Aviation
Designed specifically for general aviation pilots and crews, the Revere Survival Aero Compact life raft delivers dependable over-water safety in a lightweight, space-saving design. Engineered to bridge the gap between a basic lifejacket and a full-featured offshore liferaft, the Revere Survival Aero Compact is an ideal solution for pilots who need reliable flotation without sacrificing valuable cabin space.
Built using advanced TPU construction, the Revere Survival Aero Compact utilizes high-frequency welding and hot-air welded arches—completely eliminating the use of glue. This not only enhances long-term durability but also provides a more sustainable and eco-friendly liferaft solution. The single-tube, single-compartment design simplifies deployment while maintaining structural integrity in demanding conditions.
In an emergency, the Revere Survival Aero Compact automatically inflates in under 30 seconds using a DOT-approved CO₂ cylinder certified to ISO 15738 standards. Once deployed, the polyurethane-coated nylon tube and floor provide dependable buoyancy and abrasion resistance, while the integrated canopy system (available on select sizes) offers protection from sun, wind, and spray.
Available in configurations for 2, 4, or 6 persons, the Revere Survival Aero Compact can be ordered with or without a canopy depending on capacity and mission requirements. Each unit is packed in a convenient valise for easy storage and quick access, making it perfectly suited for light aircraft, helicopters, and general aviation platforms. Manufactured in the EU, this liferaft meets rigorous quality and performance standards trusted by pilots worldwide.
