Verfahren zum Abwurf einer an einem Luftfahrzeug getragenen externen Last, sowie die dazu benötigte Vorrichtung

摘要

The method involves measuring angle (theta) separating a sling (13) from a vertical elevation axis (AX) of an aircraft e.g. helicopter (1), parallel to a normal axis (Z) of the aircraft. A support unit (11) i.e. bar, is passed from a release hook (12) to an airframe (2) of the aircraft by an anchoring point (100). Automatic dropping of an external load (4) is activated when the angle exceeds upper limit and the sling is directed towards a rear part (4') of the aircraft to process the dropping of the external load. An independent claim is also included for an aircraft equipped with an anchoring device.
