ABSTRACT:
Two airplanes (A and B) combine in aerial maneuvers to accomplish pick up, transport and delivery of a payload (10) from and to designated surface locations (11). The payload (10) is connected to, carried in the open by and disconnected from the ends of cables (15) extending from each airplane during the aerial maneuvers. Such airplane maneuvers include orbiting 180.degree. apart while banking at prescribed angles to effect substantially vertical lifting and lowering of the payload (10) relative to the pick up and delivery surfaces (11).
