An aircraft configured to be able to hover, comprising: - a fuselage; and - a support element adapted to support a load, made of elastically deformable material and constrained to said fuselage; said support element being movable in at least one operating position in which it is arranged at least partially outside said fuselage and supports said load; said aircraft further comprising a sock surrounding said support element, when said support element is arranged, in use, in said operating position; said sock being configured to contain the elastic return of said support element, in case said support element arranged, in use, in at least one said operating position is sheared off; characterized in that it comprises: - a winch operatively connected to said support element; - a box for housing said winch; said winch being operable to move said support element between: - said at least one operating position, in which said support element extends outside said box and supports said load; and - a storage position, in which said support element is located inside said box; said sock comprising at least: - a first ring fixed to said box; - a second ring fixed to one end of said support element arranged on the side of said load; and - at least a first flexible element (25a, 25b) interposed between said first and second rings (21, 22), and having a first length when said support element is in said at least one operating position and a second length lower than said first length, when said support element is in the storage position. - a fuselage;
