Abstract :
This paper presents the resistance and reactance characteristics of various fixed antennas on two types of modern aircraft, one a two-place low-wing metal military airplane of the attack type and the other a large mid-wing metal military airplane of the bombardment type, whose dimensions are comparable to those of modern commercial transport airplanes. A frequency range of from three to eight megacycles is covered in all cases and in some cases this range is extended. A description of the measuring equipment and method is included.
