Abstract: An aircraft antenna (101) including a radome (102) wherein the radome (102) has a main body (105) shaped to enclose one or more antennae (107) when the antenna (101) is attached to a fuselage skin portion (103), wherein the main body (105) includes a front surface portion (203), a rear surface portion (401), adjacent side surface portions (205,207), and an upper surface portion (209) that form a smooth outer aerodynamic surface (211) of the antenna (101), and wherein the upper surface (209) is substantially planar in shape along a length of 60% to 80% of a length (L) of the of the radome (102).

Abstract: A fixed wing of an aircraft, having a main wing extending over a half-span with a wing box including spars extending along the spanwise direction of the main wing, ribs arranged one in back of the other viewed in the spanwise direction, and an outer skin. The wing box includes a wing box base section (K10) and a wing box adapter section, that forms the outer end area of the wing box, as viewed from the wing root, and is designed to secure a wing tip device. In its nominal state of construction, the dihedral angle of the wing box adapter section referring to the respective local spanwise direction continuously increases by at most 60 degrees from the outer rib of the wing box base section (K10) up to the outermost rib of the wing box adapter section.

Abstract: A wing tip device for a wing includes a root and a tip, and the following determinant characteristics: the local dihedral of the wing tip device continuously increases or decreases from the root to the tip; the local sweep of the trailing edge continuously increases along its progression from the root to the tip of the wing tip device; where the local sweep of the leading edge continuously increases in the progression of the leading edge from the root to a first intermediate point; continuously decreases from the first intermediate point to a second intermediate point; and continuously increases from the second intermediate point at least to a region before of the tip of the wing tip device; as well as a wing comprising a wing tip device.
