SHIP'S WING, PORTABLE, FOR CARGO TRANSFER BY HELICOPTER (MARK I)
Abstract
Results are reported of an engineering test of a ship's wing from which cargo can be picked up by helicopter while the vessel is underway. The ship's wing was designed to unload cargo from any vessel by helicopter through the use of this specially designed, steel-constructed contrivance that extends 24 ft. beyond the side of the vessel. During loading and unloading operations, the wing can be positioned outboard in 1 min. 15 sec.; it can be stored conveniently and compactly on the deck of the ship when it is not in use. (Author)
