Design and fabrication of nosecone for WB-57F aircraft fitted with APQ-102A side looking radarThe design, fabrication, and testing of a nose cone which included a radome for a NASA WB-57F high altitude natural resources mapping aircraft was reviewed. The plane was fitted with a APQ-102A side looking radar operating at 9.6 GHz. The radar is directed normally to the direction of the flight and downward by a changeable angle, and it is assumed that the axis of the plane will not deviate from this direction by more than + or - 6 deg. The radome is required to subtend an angle of 160 deg centered 30 deg below the left horizon.
