> Emergency Decent Devices
Capewell designs and manufactures reliable, high-quality products for the aerospace industry and is the
exclusive worldwide manufacturer and supplier of the Emergency Descent Device.
The Emergency Descent Device provides a safe controlled and rapid method of descent from an aircraft during an on-ground emergency situation requiring aircrew egress.
The Boeing Company, Airbus and Lockheed have licensed Capewell, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), to produce these devices for their aircraft. Additionally, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has certified Capewell as the only authorized company to re-certify these devices after performing a "rebuild".
The device is attached to the inside of the aircraft permitting two-hand descent. The internal centrifugal braking mechanism of the unit slows descent to a safe rate.
