ABSTRACT:
A container for air transport and for deliberate drops, for which purpose container (1) is connected to a braking system (3, 4, 6), permits an accurate drop by virtue of the fact that it is provided with a control that has a navigation system and actuating means for a passive steering device (4, 6), that can produce lateral directional changes of container (1) during a braked descent. Preferably the container is provided on its underside with a large-volume shock absorber (7 to 10) that is under low pressure at most.
