Thanks to experience gathered over the last 15 years of connectivity related Part 21 projects, EAD Aerospace developed a revolutionary new design for the Honeywell Jetwave Ka-Band FMA (Fuselage Mounted Antenna) Satcom installation system to mitigate this risk.

Current generation Ka and Ku band satcom systems are allowing for far greater connectivity in the air. However, this technology comes with the complexities of fuselage-mounted very large antennas. Associated modifications can ultimately result in significantly increased fuel burn, limitation of airframe life, addition of costly and repetitive maintenance tasks, limitation of re-sale and/ or leasing options, and impact on long term service options.
