ThinKom touts low-drag advantages in push for regional jet connectivity

23 January 2020 By Seth Miller 3 Comments

The Thinkom ThinAir 2517 Ka-band antenna system is in the STC process for an A320-family customer. PaxEx.Aero believes this might be for the new Spirit Airlines/Thales FlytLIVE project.

Getting high-speed satellite-based internet service on to regional jets has proven an uphill battle to date. Antenna manufacturer ThinKom hopes its Ka2517 solution can help. The company released details of a study this week confirming its antenna can fly on smaller fuselages without dramatically increasing drag.
