Suspension system for carrying an external load with an aircraft, and an aircraft

摘要

A suspension system (10) of an aircraft (1). The suspension system (10) comprises a fastener device (15) including a coupling member (20) suitable for carrying a load (5) with a sling (21). The suspension system (10) has a return device (30) that comprises a linkage (40) provided with a plurality of bars (41, 42, 43) hinged in pairs to apply a non-linear force to the coupling device (15), said linkage (40) being suitable for fastening to a load-carrier structure (2) of an aircraft (1). In addition, the return device (30) includes a tie (35) connecting said linkage (40) to the coupling device (15), as well as a spring member (36) fastened to a bar (41) of the linkage (40) and suitable for being connected to an aircraft (1).
