(2) The short wave antenna adopts an airplane conformal antenna, and is arranged at a position where the airplane needs to upwards emit to an air ionized layer and can reflect electromagnetic energy through the ionized layer. (3) In any airplane posture, the ultrashort wave radio station can provide clear communication with a ground station, and two pairs of antennas are configured to meet the requirement of the communication distance of 150 kilometers. (4) The ranging system is able to continuously track ground station signals without losing the position where the antenna arrangement must be able to transmit and receive electromagnetic energy downward. (5) The satellite navigation antenna (GPS antenna) has high receiving sensitivity, is in the air of an airplane without shielding, and at least needs to receive signals of 3 stars. (6) The receiving of the heading gliding signals cannot be influenced under all normal pitching postures of the airplane, the Voll frequency band radiation directional diagram is required to be omnidirectional within an elevation angle of +/-20 degrees, and the Voll/heading/gliding antenna is a three-in-one antenna (integrating Voll, heading and gliding functions). (7) The airplane can receive signals by leading downwards under all normal pitching postures and the low sensitivity of a radio compass system and a pointing beacon system. (8) The air traffic control answering system ensures that the airplane enters a field, leaves the field and answers up and down in the air. (9) According to the condition of a large amphibious aircraft, the aerial anti-collision system antenna comprises a directional antenna and an omnidirectional antenna, and the electromagnetic energy transmitted up and down by the aircraft is ensured. (10) The radio altimeter measures the real height below 1500 m, and uses 1 pair of transmitting and receiving antennas to make the directional diagram point to the ground in pen-like mode, and the receiving antenna receives the frequency modulated continuous wave radio frequency echo wave sent by the transmitting antenna and reflected back by the ground. (11) The airborne direction finder antenna and the lifesaving radio station only work when a pilot searches and rescues, and the antenna is required to transmit electromagnetic energy downwards in all directions.
