Abstract
This paper is a review of the general problem of aircraft antennas used for communication in the frequency range of 2 to 20 megacycles. Fixed antennas, shunt-fed wing antennas, and trailing-wire antennas are discussed and several typical curves of resistance and reactance are included. The icing problem is considered. The characteristics of several types of wire suitable for aircraft antenna are compared. Also included is a description of the army model-airplane setup for measuring radiating characteristics of various types of antennas under flight conditions.
