Abstract
A method for landing a VTOL aircraft includes winching down an external load under the force of gravity such that the external load is hung a predetermined distance below the VTOL aircraft and lands prior to the VTOL aircraft. In an autorotation situation, the VTOL aircraft is essentially performing a flair at an altitude which is equivalent to the predetermined distance such that the external load achieves a relatively soft landing suitable for a manned external load.
