A conformal load bearing antenna structure for attachment to an aircraft having an outer skin. The conformal load bearing antenna structure comprises a top face sheet and an end fed radiating element disposed thereon. Disposed adjacent to the top face sheet is a dielectric and a structural core disposed adjacent to the dielectric. In the preferred embodiment, a bottom face sheet is disposed adjacent to the structural core and an absorber is disposed adjacent to the bottom face sheet. Accordingly, the top face sheet, the dielectric, the structural core, and the bottom face sheet are configured to provide structural strength to the aircraft when the antenna is attached to the outer skin thereof. |
