A traversing strut and housing system for securing and housing a helicopter aboard a ship. One or more telescoping housing sections are mounted on and movable along a track extending outward from a fixed section. A traverse strut assembly which permits only lateral movement is attached to the end movable section and secures the helicopter to the housing. Once thus secured, the helicopter is rotated to a preferred orientation then moved into its stored position.
