Abstract

See full text

A system enables a helicopter to land on and be conveyed on a train track. The system includes the helicopter with extensible legs attached to the helicopter. The legs extend to below the fuselage to a point below the standard landing gear so that they can engage the railroad tracks. There is a rail wheel rotatably attached to the lower end of each leg. The rail wheels are what ride on the railroad tracks and provide the support needed to maintain the helicopter in position on the railroad tracks. A motor is connected to at least one rail wheel so that it can be activated to rotate the rail wheel to propel the helicopter on the railroad tracks. The system may include an adjustment beam to slide two adjacent rail wheels together or apart so as to permit the rail wheels to engage differing railroad tracks.
