The sponson is a projection from the lower fuselage. In some cases it looks like a stub wing and helps with lift. In other cases ( such as in the Sea KIng) it can be a float to stabilise the helicopter when it lands on water. Most sponsons are empty spaces but they can also be used as fuel tanks, baggage space or to hold weapons. - The sponsons on the Apache in this picture are used for lift, holding weapons racks and fuel tanks.
