ABSTRACT:
A helicopter includes missile storage means (29) adapted to store a plurality of missiles (26) laterally within a fuselage (28) and missile launcher means (40) located at the end of a lateral outrigger (27) for pivotal movement about a generally vertical axis (42) between a loading position generally laterally of the fuselage and a launch position generally parallel with a longitudinal centreline of the fuselage. In the illustrated embodiment, the launcher means comprises an elongated support beam (45) for selective engagement by a longitudinally extending tubular member (32) attached to each missile and includes transfer means (51, 52, 60, 61) for transferring a missile between the storage means and the launcher means when the latter is in said loading position.
