The rescue shuttle of the present invention includes upper and lower elongate cowlings. The lower enclosure cowling is adapted for carrying a patient. The lower enclosure cowling has a generally horizontal aperture defined by an upper edge thereof. The elongate upper enclosure cowling is releasably mountable on to the lower enclosure cowling around the upper edge of the lower enclosure cowling so as to cover the lower enclosure cowling. The lower enclosure cowling has laterally opposed first and second sides. The first side and the second side have a corresponding first rigid member and second rigid member extending longitudinally there along, rigidly mounted to the first side and second side respectively. The first and second sides have a plurality of channels, pockets, grooves or apertures in spaced longitudinal array there along so as to provide corresponding strap mounting locations on the first and second rigid members for mounting of straps thereto. A plurality of slinging straps are mountable to the first and second rigid members in longitudinally spaced apart array for releasable suspension of said rescue shuttle beneath a helicopter. A plurality of false floor supporting members are also mountable to the first and second rigid members so as to extend between said first and second rigid members in longitudinally spaced array. A rigid false floor is mountable onto the plurality of false floor supporting members.
