ABSTRACT:
A portable helicopter landing pad especially suitable for deployment on an unprepared surface comprises a number of perforated metal mats which on being joined at their edges define a heliport of predetermined size and shape. Dual-purpose connectors releasably join adjacent mats to one another and anchor the edges of the mats to the underlying surface. If needed, moveable stiffening plates are provided for strengthening the assembled mats where the wheels or skids of the helicopter touch down. A rigid container is provided for transporting and storing the predetermined number of mats, connectors, and tools needed for a particular heliport. For larger installations, several containers are pre-packed to facilitate the transport and assembly of the required components. The container is designed to prevent the stacked mats, connectors, and tools from shifting while in transit. A removable cover retains the container's contents and further prevents them from slipping during storage and transport.
