Abstract
A composite pod body that is compatible with the internal carriage mounting of an aerial vehicle for stowage of equipment or other items during long term aerial travel or deployment. The pod system may have large access doors with quick release latches and removable end caps for ergonomic access and versatility of stowage. The pod design may maximize the usable volume of the internal carriage. Further, standard NATO lug spacing may be utilized to ensure military compatibility. The pod may also have anti-roll or stabilization feet integrated with the body to ensure safety. The composite body may be lightweight when compared to legacy generation pods.
