ABSTRACT:
A container delivery system by which cargo containers are dropped from an airplane in which release gates are generally centrally positioned and longitudinally spaced in the cargo space of the airplane. The containers are secured forwardly and rearwardly by straps extending thereacross from one athwartship aircraft portion to another, generally from one outer side to the center. Release gates are generally positioned in central longitudinal rows so that the containers may be dropped out of a rear door when the door is opened, and the containers are released by opening the release gates which secure the straps to the central portion of the aircraft. A release gate secures one end of a rearwardly holding strap so that the one end of the strap is freed to allow respective containers to move rearwardly on rollers in the aircraft deck when the respective gate is opened.
