ABSTRACT:
A helicopter landing pad and hangar structure attachable particularly to the deck of a ship in a manner requiring a minimum of space on the deck during both helicopter landing and storage, and also requiring no penetration of the deck or other substantial modification of the ship structure, comprises an enclosure including a framework, side walls, and a plurality of panels supported at the top of the side walls and slidable horizontally to an inner retracted position closing the enclosure or to an outer extended position opening the enclosure and extending laterally past the side walls. A lifting platform is movable vertically to a lower position within the enclosure or to an upper position horizontally aligned with the plane of the panels. When the lifting platform is in its upper position it, together with some of the panels in their outer extended positions, constitutes an enlarged-area pad spaced substantially above the deck for the helicopter to land or take-off; and when the lifting platform is in its lower position it permits the helicopter parked thereon to be stored within the enclosure with the slidable panels in their inner positions closing the enclosure and providing a smaller-area pad for another helicopter to land if needed.
