Claim 18:
19. A helicopter flight support for a helicopter comprising:
a first outer support having a first end pivotally coupled to a bottom of the helicopter near a front of the helicopter;
a second outer support having a first end pivotally coupled to a bottom of the helicopter opposite the first outer support;
a rotatable shaft having a threaded portion coupled to the helicopter between the first outer support and the second outer support;
a motor for rotating the threaded shaft;
a deployment support having a threaded opening configured to mate with the threaded portion of the rotatable shaft;
a first inner support having a first end pivotally coupled to the second end of the first outer support at a first pivot joint;
a second inner support having a first end pivotally coupled to the second end of the second outer support at a second pivot joint,
wherein a second end of the first inner support is pivotally coupled to the deployment support, and
wherein a second end of the second inner support is pivotally coupled to the deployment support;
a first layer of fabric and a second layer of fabric having a wing shape coupled to the first outer support, the second outer support, the first inner support, and the second inner support;
wherein rotation of the rotatable shaft in a first direction by the motor causes movement of the deployment support along the threaded section towards a rear of the helicopter to cause deployment of the helicopter flight support;
an upper stability support having a cylindrical shape coupled to the rear of the helicopter in a vertical configuration;
a lower stability support having a cylindrical shape coupled to the rear of the helicopter in a vertical configuration;
a first set of upper support cables; and
a first set of lower support cables,
wherein first ends of the upper support cables are coupled to the deployment support and second ends of the upper support cables are coupled to the first pivot joint and the second pivot joint, and
wherein the upper support cables are routed through the upper stability support,
wherein first ends of the lower support cables are coupled to the deployment support and second ends of the lower support cables are coupled to the first pivot joint and the second pivot joint, and
wherein the lower support cables are routed through the lower stability support.
