1992 - The year of the radome?
Abstract
Various technical and regulatory events which are focusing new attention on the weather radome for air transport and general aviation aircraft are discussed. Comparitive figures are provided for the principal properties and costs of glass, Kevlar, and quartz radomes. Attention is given to the diverter design and location on the radome that represents a compromise between transmission efficiency and diversion of lightning.
