History and present status of externally loaded flying crane helicopter are presented and comparison of externally loaded helicopters with ground transport, fixed wing, and high speed VTOL is made; operation at Khe Sanh, Vietnam, is used as illustration; there is need for series of helicopters of various sizes -- compatible with other transport systems, and designed for standard intermodal cargo containers; need is being partly filled at present; from present experience, future designs are projected; aerial resupply capability will depend ultimately on load sizes and shapes, delivery frequency, number of delivery personnel, locations of forward area supply centers, fixed wing-rotary wing transfer systems, and upon force available to protect delivery routes.
