Aircraft Antennas: Introduction
- An aircraft has a filter through a range of radio frequencies to navigate to its destination and communicate with air traffic control. For this purpose, the onboard radio equipment uses different types and sizes of antennas, each designed for their own frequency band
- Each of these antennas have their own characteristics with respect to the frequency and application
- Aircraft antennas have different shapes and sizes, which are determined by the manufacturer itself. The shape and placement of aircraft antennas are decided by their directional qualities and the frequencies they use to operate. These antennas must be of certain shapes and placed in certain spots to operate correctly.
- The different types of aircraft antenna are communication antennas, PS antennas, loran antennas, loop antennas, marker beacon antennas, nav antennas, radio altimeters, and UHF antennas
Military Segment to Expand Significantly
- Increase in military spending of countries around the world has boosted the launch of new generation aircraft and modernization of existing aircraft with advanced technologies
- The US Department of Defense is making its military force more lethal, agile, and innovative. It is developing future attack reconnaissance aircraft, future assault aircraft, and sixth-generation combat aircraft, which in turn is propelling the aircraft antenna market
- Developments in the U.S. and its allied countries such as the launch of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and surveillance aircraft to monitor threats along water and land boarders is fueling the military segment of the aircraft antenna market
- The newly developed liquid antenna acts as a communication equipment on aircraft. This antenna is reconfigurable to any frequency or direction for data propagation. Such developments in technologies boost the aircraft antennas market.
Asia Pacific to Lead Global Aircraft Antennas Market
- Asia Pacific is leading the global aircraft antenna market, as a large number of aircraft are scheduled for future delivery to carriers in the region. This is helping airlines to increase connectivity within the region in order to cater to diverse industries such as tourism and trade.
- Advancements in antenna systems to increase onboard connectivity services for passengers so that it enhances their experience further fuels the aircraft antenna market
- Increased investments in the military sector in Asia Pacific prompting the development and launch of new generation advanced military aircrafts. These aircraft are provided with advanced antenna systems to provide better data link between satellite & aircraft, aircraft & aircraft, and aircraft to ground stations. These factors are projected to propel the demand for aircraft antennas in Asia Pacific in the near future.
