🔍 Key Concepts

• Inflatable life rafts and survival craft design features visible from outside • How a self-righting or easily righted raft works after capsizing • What features help detection versus what features help stability or propulsion

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens if an inflatable survival craft flips upside down. What feature would help the occupants recover from that situation? • Look at each choice and ask: does this function match what a relatively small bag or box on top of a raft could realistically do? • Which of the listed purposes is most critical for keeping survivors alive in rough conditions, especially if the craft overturns?

✅ Before You Answer

• Distinguish between features that improve stability in waves versus features that help right an overturned raft • Recall that some detection aids (for radar, etc.) have specific shapes like reflectors or electronic beacons rather than just a bag or box • Consider how the center of gravity and water ballast can be used to turn a capsized inflatable raft back to its correct position
