An aspirator may include an aspirator body that defines an annular cavity, a central channel, and an annular slit. Fluid communication between the annular cavity and the central channel may be via the annular slit. The aspirator body may include an entrainment opening through which ambient air is configured to be entrained into the central channel in response to gas flowing from the annular cavity through the annular slit and into the central channel.

An aspirator system for inflating an inflatable evacuation device includes an aspirator body having a plurality of flapper doors configured to open to allow intake of atmospheric gas. The aspirator system also includes an aspirator barrel connecting the aspirator body to the inflatable evacuation device, having connected inflation chambers wrapping around a circumference of the aspirator barrel and arranged along a length of the aspirator barrel, and being configured to provide an aspirator barrel chamber for guiding the atmospheric gas to the inflatable evacuation device when the aspirator barrel is inflated. The aspirator system also includes a showerhead nozzle connected to the connected inflation chambers, configured to direct high-pressure gas to inflate the aspirator barrel and compel intake of atmospheric gas through the plurality of flapper doors, to inflate the inflatable evacuation device.

An aspirator may comprise an aspirator body defining an air channel and an inlet. A flow straightener may be disposed at the inlet. The flow straightener may be configured to produce a laminar flow through the air channel. An aspirator barrel may be coupled to the aspirator body and may define an outlet. A static airfoil assembly may be disposed at the outlet. The static airfoil assembly may be configured to produce a vortex flow exiting the aspirator barrel.
