Abstract
An antenna and radome assembly has an adapter plate engaging a first fitting configuration mounted to an aircraft fuselage. The adapter plate mechanically supports an antenna assembly wherein the antenna assembly is originally configured for a second fitting configuration. A radome is attached to the adapter plate enclosing the antenna assembly. The adapter plate has at least a nose portion providing reactive structure adapted to transform a longitudinal load on the radome into an induced downward vertical deflection.
