How should an antenna be installed on an aircraft?

  1. To minimize drag

  2. So that loads imposed are transmitted to the aircraft structure

  3. At the highest point of the aircraft

  4. To enhance aesthetic appeal

The correct answer is: So that loads imposed are transmitted to the aircraft structure

An airplane antenna should be installed so that any loads or forces exerted on it are transmitted to the aircraft structure. This ensures that the antenna does not add additional weight or drag to the aircraft. Installing the antenna at the highest point may seem like a good idea for better reception, but it could also create unnecessary drag and potentially affect the performance of the aircraft. Additionally, installing an antenna for purely aesthetic reasons is not a priority in aircraft design. The most important factor is ensuring the safety and functionality of the antenna while minimizing any negative impacts on the aircraft.
