An apparatus for launching, recovering, transporting, and storing vehicles is disclosed. The apparatus stabilizes the vehicle while it is in operation or inactive and has a frame connected to at least one stabilizer. In certain configurations, the apparatus stabilizes the vehicle without using the vehicle's onboard landing gear. The apparatus may also include at least one pad connected to the apparatus.

The holder includes the support bars interconnected to each other forming the angle and the flexible element fixed on the bars. According to the invention (first variant), the support bars are rigidly fixed to each other at the point of formation of the angle, and the flexible element covering the volumetric object is removable and fixed to the support bars with the possibility of its rigid fixation with the help of slots. According to the invention (second variant), one of the support bars is made as a carrying one, on which, using a flexible connection nodes at least one or two movable support bars are fixed on one or two of its opposite sides forming the sockets for placing the volumetric object. At the bars' ends the slots are made in the form of a comb for fixing a flexible element that covers covering an object, in them.
