Abstract
Internal conformal antenna arrays are mounted in aircraft aerosurface and fuselage primary and secondary load carrying structures. These radar transmitting structures are dual role structures capable of efficiently transmitting and receiving radio frequency energy, and efficiently carrying and transmitting aerodynamic loads. The internal conformal antenna arrays are mounted in the leading and trailing edges of the wings, in the empennage, and behind the outer shell of the fuselage. In order to achieve radar transmitting structures capable of transmitting radio frequency energy and meeting primary aerodynamic load carrying requirements, ceramic, quartz, or silicone-carbide fiber-reinforced organic matrix composites are combined with advanced structures technology.
