This report covers the design, the development and the static testing of 8x8x10- and 20-foot gondolas. The technical feasibility and performance data provided will permit further study of the transportation of these systems by helicopter. The maximum gross weights of the 10- and 20-foot units are 15,000 and 30,000 pounds respectively. The structure has a rigid, porous floor; an open superstructure; and ISO corner fittings. It is designed to be acquired and released by container handling devices or handled by forklifts. The gondola system is intermodal and consists of a basic center unit (8x8x20 feet ) and two end units (8x8x10 feet) that are all modules that can be coupled to make 8x8x40-foot and 8x8x20-foot assemblies.
