ABSTRACT:
A traverser and traversing system for traversing a helicopter having a tricycle undercarriage with a nose wheel as for example, the Sea Lynx, and a helicopter having a rear wheel, as for example, a Sea King, is provided, for traversing the helicopter from its landing on a ship's deck to the hangar for storage, or in the alternative, from the hangar to its take-off position. The traversing system comprises a traverser, a track on the deck for carrying and guiding the traverser on the deck and control system for controlling the movement of the traverser. The traverser has a low profile for utilization under the helicopter and comprises a base for securing to the track, a cross member carried by the base for mounting the carriage for movement, a control system (including brakes) for controlling the sliding of the carriage to secure the helicopter to the traverser. A method employing the traversing system is also provided to minimize the manual labor employed in moving a helicopter on landing to storage in the hangar and vice versa.
