ABSTRACT:
A maneuverable vehicle which is adapted to be suspended from above, such as by a helicopter. The vehicle is particularly adapted for use in rescue work. The vehicle has a pair of rudders, one at each end thereof. A propeller is associated with each of the rudders to produce an airflow across the associated rudder. This airflow enables positioning of the rudder to control the vehicle. The vehicle is completely enclosed to protect its occupants from the environment and falling objects. A slidig door allows ingress and egress from the vehicle. The draft created by the propellers also powers an air treatment system to clear smoke and other fumes from the interior of the vehicle. Suitable bumpers, shock absorbers and lights are provided to enable the vehicle to be safely used in the environment for which it is intended.
