In the 1950s or so, there was an airplane developed which was able to carry a detachable shipping box, about the size of a small seatainer. Without the box attached it looked like a fixed-wing Sikorsky CH-54. It was designed to transport military supplies in the container, like the CH-54 on the left, which was detached at the destination and the aircraft flown back to base looking like the CH-54 in the foreground. Then it would pick up another loaded contained; fly out and drop it off and come back with the empty one it took out first. In flight trials, the aircraft flew nicely with the container attached, but was a handful without it. I'm pretty sure that it was a British project. Sorry that I can't remember its name so that I can load a ling to the video about it.
