ABSTRACT:
The present apparatus for securing a flying craft to a starting and landing rea is especially intended for helicopters. In order to secure such a flying craft with a simple, yet effective device, the starting and landing area is provided with a perforated landing platform or plate. A valve below the perforation is connected to an evacuating pump. The flying craft is provided with landing gear capable of sealing the cavity when landing and to start the evacuation pump. In this manner the flying craft is held in position by the vacuum created in the cavity in the manner of a suction cup.
