ABSTRACT:
In the transportation by helicopter of specialized cargo externally, such stokes litters, personnel carriers, auxilliary fuel tanks, gun mounts, and the like, it is frequently necessary to switch the carrying apparatus from one type of load to another. Normally, in order to provide for such external cargo a helicopter must be permanently altered to avoid the use of unreliable belts and straps. Permanent helicopter modifications are not totally acceptable in emergency situations. A helicopter cargo carrying apparatus is provided herein which is not subject to these objections. A pallet-like frame, upon which the load is secured, or which forms the base of the load carrying apparatus such as a platform or litter is provided.
