ABSTRACT:
The invention is a carrier for use in air dropping cargo from an aircraft, the carrier comprising a pallet suspended from a parachute. The pallet has struts which absorb shock and prevent cargo roll over when the pallet lands, the struts being deployed into a shock absorbing, anti-roll-over position by the drag of the parachute when it opens. The pallet includes shock absorbing supports between its upper and lower surfaces to further protect air dropped cargo upon landing.
