ABSTRACT:
Helicopters employed in emergency situations have been adapted for a vari of external uses. For example, step and cargo carriers have been attached to the skid supports of these helicopters. Gun mounts and camera mounts have been used. In order to provide for such external rigging, helicopters have been permanently altered. To avoid such permanent alterations straps or belts have been used to hold external equipment. However, the utility of such straps is extremely limited. It creates a stabilization problem. The invention herein provides an external cargo carrier capable of accepting a wide variety of external devices for use in emergency situations without permanently altering the helicopter. A totally self-contained framework is provided which includes stabilization means.
