Armament/cargo support apparatus for an aircraft includes a central support plank member transversely secured to a bottom side of a helicopter cabin area at door openings formed in forwardly and outwardly sloping opposite horizontal outer wall portions of the helicopter. The outer ends of the central plank member are inwardly offset from the opposite outer helicopter wall portions and have outer end surfaces which are parallel to such outer wall portions. Auxiliary plank sections are pivotally secured to the outer ends of the central plank section and are pivotable about axes parallel to the sloping helicopter outer side wall portions, between first positions in which they are folded onto top sides of the central plank section within the cabin area, and second positions in which the auxiliary plank sections extend outwardly beyond opposite sides of the helicopter. Front and rear support panel structures are secured to front and rear side edge portions of the auxiliary plank sections for pivotal movement relative thereto between cargo carrying positions in which they extend transversely to the central support plank sections, and folded orientations in which the front and rear support panel structures on each auxiliary plank section may be pivoted toward one another to be folded into the cabin area with their associated auxiliary plank section. Each end of the central plank section is supportingly securable to an external fuel tank.
