ABSTRACT:
An aircraft cargo pod for use with helicopters, the pod having a container slidably engaged with a mounting assembly mounted to the underside of the helicopter fuselage. The mounting assembly includes a plate having a pair of side rails sized and shaped to engage channels formed in the sidewalls of the container. The sidewalls and backwalls circumscribe an open top of the container to provide unobstructed access to the entire length of the container. Thus, the aircraft cargo pod of the present invention facilitates easy installation and removal and provides unobstructed access to the interior to facilitate loading and unloading of long and bulky items, such as golf clubs, skis, long-handled tools and the like.
