Canadian Forces aircrew have been using one of three basic life preservers. Ejection seat aircrew wear the Irvin high performance life-preserver that incorporates an automatic inflation device (AID); helicopter/transport aircrew wear the same life preserver with a manual inflation device; maritime aircrew, fixed-wing and rotary-wing, wear a Bauer life-preserver that incorporates three independent buoyancy compartments. These life-preservers were designed in the early 1950's and have changed little during the years.
