An aerial delivery apparatus generally includes a platform and an adapter. The platform includes a panel extending laterally between and to a first side rail and a second side rail. The adapter is mounted to the platform and includes a plurality of anchor points whereby a parachute is configured to be attached to the platform. The adapter is configured to transfer parachute forces directly into the side rails of the platform. The adapter can be mounted to the side rails via a plurality of fittings that are mounted between the side rails and the adapter. The side rails can each define respective slots extending longitudinally along the respective side rail. The fitting can be configured to be received at least partially into the slot. Each fitting can include a first aperture defining a central axis extending laterally through the fitting whereby the fitting is secured to the side rail.
