  1. Radomes and Antennas

    "The current use of improved airplane ice-prevention equipment has extended operations in icing conditions and thus accentuated the need for protecting aircraft antennas against structural failures resulting from ice accretions"

    Figure 7 of NACA-RM-E7H26a. Typical ice formation collected during flight on 15°, 34-foot antenna and the 64°, 40-foot antenna. View underneath antennas, looking forward.

    These reviews are for studies of the effect of ice on radomes and antennas.
