Research abstract
A PRELIMINARY DESIGN STUDY IS PROPOSED TO CREATE A PALLETIZED ACTIVE APERTURE ARRAY TEST INSTALLATION IN A WIDEBODY AIRCRAFT. SYSTEMS EVALUATION LABORATORY IN FLIGHT CORP. (SELF) IS AN AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY COMPANY PLANNING TO PROVIDE AN L-1011 AIRCRAFT FOR USE AS A FLYING LABORATORY FOR SYSTEM TEST AND EVALUATION. SELF CORP. HAS DEVELOPED A UNIQUE CONCEPT FOR PALLETIZING SENSOR SYSTEMS, SUCH AS ANTENNAS USING EXISTING DOORS AND OTHER OPENINGS TO ALLOW EASY INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF OUTERSKIN MATERIALS AND CONFIGURATIONS TO SUIT THE ANTENNA REQUIREMENTS BY ELIMINATING THE NEED FOR THE SKIN TO CARRY PRESSURE LOADS. THIS PHASE I STUDY WILL DEFINE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR ACTIVE APERTURE ARRAY INSTALLATION AND RESULT IN A PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF THE PALLETIZED INSTALLATION.
