Description
A helicopter hook is a device attached to a helicopter, typically on the underside, used for lifting and transporting cargo, equipment, or people. This hook is essential for external load operations, where the helicopter transports items that cannot fit inside the cabin or need to be delivered to hard-to-reach areas.
The helicopter hook connects to a cable or sling that attaches to the load, allowing the helicopter to hover over the area, pick up the load, and transport it to a designated location. Once the helicopter reaches the drop-off point, the hook can be remotely or manually released to let go of the load.
