The purpose of this two-phase investigation is to define the optimum design of a heavy-lift helicopter external cargo handling system of 40,000-pound capacity. The report covers the results of an interface subsystem configuration analysis and defines the load handling winches and hoist systems required for a feasible, overall cargo handling system (including those aircraft-related systems necessary for control--actuation and monitorship, load attachment, suspension, hoisting, and shock dampening).
