An aircraft object mounting system is formed from three light weight
honeycombed metal plank sections--a longitudinally central section and a
pair of upturned end sections removably secured thereto. The end sections
have bomb racks thereon to which various weaponry, such as machine guns,
rocket launchers or missiles, may be attached. The central section is
secured to the underside of a helicopter, with small lug structures on
the central section extending upwardly into the aircraft cabin area and
secured to bulkheads therein. The object mounting system is thus
positioned essentially entirely externally to the aircraft and only
minimally intrudes into the interior thereof. The mounting system may be
used to support non-weaponry objects, and may be utilized with aircraft
other than helicopters.
