ABSTRACT:
A helicopter flotation pack includes an inflatable flotation bladder secured to an intermediate structural member which includes means for attachment to a helicopter landing skid. The structural member cooperatively defines a sheltered chamber for inflation apparatus and also carries an environmentally protective cosmetic cover which advantageously directs the deployment of the flotation bladder during inflation. The nature of the interconnection between the inflation bladder and structural member is such that both in-flight stability and flotation load-bearing capacity of the flotation bladder are increased.
