5.B.(5)(b) Wing Tip "V" Antenna Mounting Location
(refer to
The wing type "V" is one of the most effective HF antennas which can be
utilized on an aircraft. It is well suited for slow and moderate speed aircraft
which require optimum HF communication and performance. It will exhibit a
rather omnidirectional radiation pattern and provide good efficiency at all
frequencies.
It has the disadvantages of having high drag, and on low wing aircraft is
prone to being walked into. The length of a wing tip "V" antenna is usually
30 to 45 feet (9.2 to 13.7 m).
