ABSTRACT:
An aerodynamically-stable collapsible basket for carrying a load suspended from a helicopter having a loaded and an unloaded flight mode is provided. The collapsible basket comprises a grated floor, mesh sides and a lifting harness assembly. The floor supports the load and comprises a rectangular bottom frame and a grate having four ends. Each end of the grate connects to a different side of the rectangular bottom frame. Apparatus for aerodynamically stabilizing the basket comprises collapsible side-frame assembly having four rectangular side frames pivotally mounted to different sides of the rectangular bottom frame. Stabilization of the basket results from airflow patterns developed by mesh screen sides attached to the basket and the floor grating. Apparatus for attaching the basket to the helicopter comprises two pairs of hooks, each pair being oppositely attached to the top ends of two oppositely-facing side frames.
