Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9967131A1] The invention relates to a method for the targeted placement or reception of goods from aircraft in which the landing of the aircraft and the exact spatial positioning thereof can be foregone. The item which is to be unloaded and which is stored on an intermediate platform can be lowered from the aircraft to a certain height above the ground. This lowering process is carried out by a cable system which, to a large degree, decouples the movements of the aircraft with regard to the load. The intermediate platform is supported at the intermediate height with regard to the ground by a three-dimensional framework which absorbs pressure forces. Afterwards, the load is received or lowered by this intermediate platform which is spatially fixed, or both method steps are carried out simultaneously or in succession.
