With El Niño approaching and the risk of severe flooding increasing, we cannot wait for a forecast to become an emergency before taking action.
That is why we are introducing AeroCabin™ X2 SD — Super Duty, our inflatable, floating technology developed to strengthen flood preparedness and expand evacuation capacity.
AeroCabin X2 SD was not created to replace rescue boats or professional emergency response teams. It was designed to multiply the capacity of the resources already available.
In our comparative operational scenario:
• A traditional rescue boat transports 3 evacuees per cycle.
• The same boat, towing 3 AeroCabin X2 SD units, can transport up to 9 evacuees per cycle.
• Estimated evacuation capacity increases from 9 to 27 people per hour.
• Evacuating 200 people could be reduced from approximately 22 hours to about 7.5 hours.
That represents three times the evacuation capacity using the same rescue boat and the same crew—without adding three more engines or three additional boats.
And when we talk about greater evacuation capacity and less time, we are not talking only about operational efficiency.
We are talking about lives that could be saved.
During a flood, every minute matters. Reaching people sooner means helping them before the water rises further, before they become trapped, are swept away by the current, or lose their lives.
Reducing evacuation time means reducing the amount of time that a family, an older adult, a child, or a person with limited mobility remains exposed to danger.
But the innovation does not end when people reach safety.
After completing the evacuation, each AeroCabin can be detached from the rescue boat and immediately used as a protected emergency space, reducing the need to deploy a separate temporary structure.
One technology designed to evacuate, protect, and provide temporary shelter.
Its Super Duty construction, high-pressure inflatable structure, and compact design make it possible to transport and store multiple units using a fraction of the space required by rigid boats.
This creates an opportunity to pre-position AeroCabin units with municipalities, fire departments, Civil Defense agencies, community organizations, companies, and vulnerable communities—so they are close to the people who may need them before roads and access routes become compromised.
For decades, we have normalized images of families being evacuated on tractor buckets, improvised mattresses, or overcrowded boats.
We should not accept this as inevitable.
Real disaster innovation does not begin when the emergency strikes. It begins before—by identifying risks, training response teams, distributing resources, and testing protocols while there is still time.
Preparing is not exaggerating the risk. It is respecting it.
When the water rises, we rise with it.
This comparison represents an illustrative operational scenario based on estimated 20-minute evacuation cycles. Actual capacity depends on distance, water conditions, weather, load, operational protocols, and field validation. AeroCabin X2 SD does not replace a certified rescue boat or a personal flotation device.
