ABSTRACT:
A load such as supply containers, weapons or the like is dropped from an craft by a carrier which has a longitudinal support beam and wings which are hinged to the support beam to normally extend in the direction of the longitudinal support beam when the load is secured to the aircraft through the support beam. Once the beam with the load attached thereto is released from the aircraft the wings are automatically spread out for controlling the flight of the load to the ground. The longitudinal carrier or the load itself may be equipped with a propulsion system that may be controlled automatically by control means forming part of the load or it may be controlled by remote control.
