The bottom surface of an aircraft, such as an Osprey V-22 propeller driven aircraft, has at least four distributed hook attachment points. A load suspension apparatus is attached to the four attachment points with elongated slings. The load suspension apparatus includes an upper rigid frame and a lower rigid frame of lesser dimensions. The lower frame is suspended from the upper frame with V-shaped slings. A cargo load is attached to the lower frame. The load suspension apparatus provides stable attachment of loads to tilt wing and rotary wing aircraft at high aircraft speeds, at transitions between high and low speeds and through aircraft turns.
