survival raft

Ocean rescue platform

A survival raft is an inflatable or buoyant vessel designed for emergency use when a ship or aircraft goes down at sea.

Unlike standard rafts, survival rafts are typically compact when stored, inflate rapidly, and include emergency supplies—water, rations, signaling devices.

The pilot located the survival raft under his seat before takeoff.
