An emergency vision apparatus includes a housing for attachment underneath an instrument panel in a cockpit, the housing including a front opening, a front cover for the front opening, a bottom portion of the front cover being pivotably attached to the housing to allow the front cover to open and rotate downwardly; an inflatable enclosure made of airtight material and having an expanded form when deployed and a deflated form when not in use, the enclosure when in the deflated form is stored within the housing; first and second clear members disposed at respective first and second ends of the enclosure to enable a user to see through the enclosure when expanded and observe a source of visual information at a distal end of the enclosure while smoke or other particulate matter is in the environment; a first switch operably associated with the blower to activate the blower and thereby inflate the enclosure to the expanded form when the enclosure is to be deployed; and a tubular air passageway connecting the blower and the enclosure.
