Abstract
An external cargo damping system includes lifting gear and a damping assembly. The lifting gear has a lifting body attachment end and an opposed external cargo end, and defines a load path that extends between the lifting body attachment and external cargo ends of the lifting gear. The damping assembly is connected in series with the lifting gear and is disposed along the load path to damp vibratory force transmitted between the lifting gear lifting body attachment and lifting gear ends.
