The paper surveys a slung load transportation system using small size helicopters. Some typical real world applications are presented and the problems arising from the attachment of slung loads to the helicopter fuselage are discussed. An overview of the existing solutions to these problems is given and anew approach developed in our group for slung load transportation using one or multiple coupled small size helicopter is presented. Possible application for slung load systems com posed of one or multiple helicopters are discussed.
