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 support element being a rope comprising first ends (56, 57) opposite to each other, one first end being connected to a first connector connected to said fuselage and the other first end to a second connector connected to said load, so as to maintain said load at a fixed distance from said fuselage when said rope is arranged in the operating position; said aircraft further comprising a sock surrounding said support element, when said support element is arranged, in use, in said operating position; said sock comprising, in turn, second ends (61, 62) opposite to each other, one second end being connected to said first connector and the other second end to said second connector, characterised in that the second ends (61, 62) are connected to the connectors (53, 54) independently of the respective said first ends (56, 57) of said support element; 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; said sock having a first length greater than a second breaking length of said support element in the presence of a load parallel to a first extension axis of said support element in said operating position, so that when said support element in use breaks, said load remains suspended form said sock which is still, in use, loose and intact; said second breaking length being the maximum breaking length reached, in use, by said support element under the action of said load; wherein said sock has a preferential breaking section at said one end of its second ends (61, 62) arranged on the side of said fuselage and opposite to said load. - 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 support element being a rope comprising first ends (56, 57) opposite to each other, one first end being connected to a first connector connected to said fuselage and the other first end to a second connector connected to said load, so as to maintain said load at a fixed distance from said fuselage when said rope is arranged in the operating position; said aircraft further comprising a sock surrounding said support element, when said support element is arranged, in use, in said operating position; said sock comprising, in turn, second ends (61, 62) opposite to each other, one second end being connected to said first connector and the other second end to said second connector, characterised in that the second ends (61, 62) are connected to the connectors (53, 54) independently of the respective said first ends (56, 57) of said support element; 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; said sock having a first length greater than a second breaking length of said support element in the presence of a load parallel to a first extension axis of said support element in said operating position, so that when said support element in use breaks, said load remains suspended form said sock which is still, in use, loose and intact; said second breaking length being the maximum breaking length reached, in use, by said support element under the action of said load; wherein said sock has a preferential breaking section at said one end of its second ends (61, 62) arranged on the side of said fuselage and opposite to said load.
