  • Publication number: 20230183044
    Abstract: A human and/or non-human cargo attachment device for a rotorcraft. The device comprises a mounting interface with a carrier device and an attachment that is rigidly mounted to the carrier device for attachment to a rotorcraft rope or cable. A device body is mounted to the carrier device. The device body has a stationary body section and a movable body section. The stationary body section is stationarily arranged on the carrier device and comprises a plurality of rotatable attachment hooks for attachment of human or non-human external cargo. The movable body section is movably arranged on the carrier device for enabling movements of the movable body section relative to the stationary body section between a locking position and a release position.
