The statistics of the aircraft accidents shows that the majority of them occurs in the area of the airfield. At the same time, the main factors leading to the air crash victims are the forces acting when striking against obstacles and fires. It is possible to single out a group of the so-called “technically surviving” accidents of the total number of accidents, in which the certain member of the crew and passengers can survive upon condition of timely evacuation. The share of such accidents is about 85-90%. However, up to 40% of passengers die in “technically surviving” accidents. Systems of survival securing in these situations suggest that if the person is in the burning cabin of an airplane, such person can remain alive only upon condition of evacuation - timely exit to the safe zone. And although these systems have been sufficiently devel-oped, this is one of the most significant problems in modern aviation. This means that the study of opportunities and the development of the methods and means of passenger evacuation in aircraft accidents, in particular in the airport area, are very relevant.
