Abstract
A survey is made of the types of breakdown which my affect the performance of antennas and their components during high altitude, high speed flight. Present day practices for increasing the breakdown value of antennas are presented. Environmental conditions peculiar to high altitude, high speed flight are cited and their possible effect on the breakdown voltage of antennas is discussed. Other factors contributing to the antenna performance are also described.
