Boeing 767 slide deployment system test - US Airways

Test of Boeing 767 overwing slide deployment system. US Airways, Charlotte hangar, April 2013.

I was on 767s for 16 years... Never was told that the raised spoiler dropped automatically when slide is blown.. We never thought to ask about that in a landing either!

The 777 uses the same except the slide turns to the sides instead of aft

I heard a rumor 757 used a tiny explosive charge on the spoiler actuator for slide deployment. What does this use?

[@dhusband]

Yes... the 767 has a charge that forces the spoiler actuator down. The 757 you mention does not... as it has no overwing escape exit.
