Canadian innovation on display: The “Beartrap”
The Helicopter Hauldown and Rapid Securing Device (HHRSD)—popularly known as the “Beartrap”—is featured in an exhibit at the Shearwater Aviation Museum, located at 12 Wing Shearwater, Nova Scotia.
The exhibit is a one-third scale representation of the hangar face and flight deck of a Halifax-class frigate, Her Majesty’s Canadian Ship St. John’s, with a Sea King helicopter hovering above the deck, in the process of being hauled down by the HHRSD cable.
