VOR Antenna, for Composite Aircraft, Sportcraft Antennas

These antennas are essentially the same with the exception of the overall length and the matching devices with the COM antenna being installed vertically and the NAV antenna being installed horizontally. The outer ends of these antennas may be swept up to +/- 30 degrees to facilitate installation in various aircraft types. VSWR is less than 2:1 over their respective frequency bands.

All Archer antenna designs for both metal and composite aircraft are meant for internal installation in either fiberglass wingtips or fairings of some type in conductive aircraft or inside the structures of composite aircraft. They are mainly constructed of Alclad .016" thick 2024 aluminum strips arranged in a manner that allows tuning the antennas to a level beyond that of most antennas available today.
