What type of exit slide is used for the OWE exits on the A320?

The OWE (Over Wing Exit) exits on the A320 are equipped with non-detachable dual lane slides. This type of slide is designed to facilitate a more efficient and rapid evacuation of passengers in an emergency situation. The dual lane feature allows for two simultaneous flows of occupants, enhancing the evacuation process and reducing potential bottlenecks.

Using a non-detachable design ensures that the slides are readily available and automatically deploy during an emergency, providing immediate assistance for evacuation without any additional steps required by the crew. This design emphasizes safety and the need for quick, effective egress from the aircraft. The specific configuration of these slides is tailored to the A320's structure and emergency procedures, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and the safety of passengers.
