1. Arrangement for taking up an airplane, which has a fuselage and is at rest on the ground or in controlled flight, with the aid of a rotary wing aircraft, the arrangement comprising:

  • lower takeup means mounted on the airplane;

    upper takeup means carried by the rotary wing aircraft;

    remotely-controlled guidance means for guiding said upper takeup means relative to the rotary wing aircraft;

    coupling-uncoupling means for coupling and decoupling said upper takeup means and said lower takeup means;

    said lower takeup means being mounted on said fuselage;

    said coupling-uncoupling means being configured so as to cause said upper takeup means to be coupled with said lower takeup means in a form-tight manner; and

    ,said upper takeup means including;

    an aerodynamically maneuverable unit remotely guided by said guidance means so as to be movable in three translatory axes and in three rotational axes relative to the rotary wing aircraft; and

    , flexible supporting means for supporting said aerodynamically maneuverable unit from the rotary wing aircraft.
