Claim 0:
1. 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; and
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; and
a sheath having an open bottom covering at least the threaded portion of the rotatable shaft and the deployment support.
