An escape system for use in aircraft includes a support frame for deployment adjacent an aircraft hatch, and a vertical fabric chute to receive passengers from the aircraft and lower them at a controlled speed to ground level. The support frame includes an entranceway which may include a drape to alleviate passenger fears. The effective sail are of the vertical chute may be minimized to prevent movement in windy deployments, either by bunching the chute with breakaway bands which burst when the first passenger descends and/or cutaway portions in the fabric backing panels. The system includes a landing platform, which may be arranged for deployment in either a horizontal or angled position, and a life raft joined to the landing platform.
