ADVANCED HELICOPTER EMERGENCY ESCAPE LIGHTING SYSTEM

摘要

A chemically activated lighting system is provided which serves to clearly mark an exit door or hatch as an emergency escape route. The system utilizes two chemical agents which when mixed together form a compound which radiates light. The agents are stored in a container which defines separate chambers for each agent. When the system is activated, the volume of each chamber is reduced, thereby forcing each agent into a mixing chamber where they are combined. The compound is then passed through a transparent conduit which is formed around the escape exit.
