The present embodiments relate to a modular load carrying apparatus 200 for a rotary wing aircraft 100 and to a rotary wing aircraft with such a modular load carrying apparatus 200. The modular load carrying apparatus 200 may include a tube 210, first and second caps 410, 420 at first and second axial ends 211, 212 of the tube 210, a carrier star 280 with docking devices 285 that are adapted for rotatably receiving a seat 223 or a carrier beam 236 that may be folded against the tube 210 in a stowed position 287 or unfolded from the tube 210 in a deployed position 288. A tension rod 440 may be spanned between the first and second caps 410, 420 and transfer tension loads from the carrier star 280 via the second cap 420 towards the first cap 410.
