[Description]

Rescue equipment for shipwrecked people that can be transported to the scene of the accident particularly quickly by aircraft, including supersonic aircraft, and contains, for example, an inflatable life raft, compactly packed and housed in a hermetic transport container that can be attached to the external stations, e.g. for weapon systems, of the fighter aircraft using a coupling mechanism. Various rescue equipment for shipwrecked people is known. Some of them are brought to the scene of the accident by aircraft, e.g. airplanes and helicopters, and dropped there.

When they hit the water surface they inflate. A major disadvantage of these means is the low transport speed, the short range of the aircraft and the very high transport costs.

To eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages, the authors propose a particularly quickly transportable device for rescuing shipwrecked people using supersonic combat aircraft, which are available in practically every country in the world.

In this case, for fastening the rescue equipment, which is located in a special hermetic transport container (1), conventional devices on the outboard stations 0 of the aircraft can be used, which serve as a rule for fastening weapon systems.

When necessary, the rescue equipment, which is located in a special transport container, is detached from the aircraft (11).
The rescue equipment, e.g. an inflatable raft (3), is located in the initial position in a hermetic transport container (1), whereby this container for the transport and storage of the rescue equipment (inflatable raft and the like) has a streamlined aerodynamically optimized shape, can be made of plastic or metal and is equipped as follows:
- Opening mechanism (2)

- Device that activates the rescue equipment (inflating the raft) Drive (5) for moving the closed transport container with the rescue equipment on the water
navigation system

L Equipping the closed transport container with the rescue device with an Ai device is particularly useful if this is done in the dark or

stüi ■■; See was not dropped to the exact position and was affected by wind and

Waves are carried out of reach of the victims. Even under favorable conditions, the drive allows the container to be quickly positioned in the desired coordinates. The drive is controlled via radio, with the coordinates being transmitted to its system from an aircraft or via a satellite connection.

The control can be carried out by the pilot via radio when visibility is sufficient, or with the help of an acoustic navigation system by filtering acoustic signals from the shipwrecked people.
It is possible to equip life jackets, belts, signal buoys with an acoustic transmitter of a certain modulation, to which the control of the propulsion device responds.

After reaching the coordinates, the container opens automatically (8) and the rescue device (7) is activated (6).
During the dark hours of the day, it is useful to support the process of dropping and controlling with flares.

The speed at which the system reaches the coordinates of the accident site is the sum of the duration of the aircraft's flight, the drop phase and the approach phase.
