The Starlink antenna panel is small and light, while promising high speed internet service on airplanes.

SpaceX has a new private jet, and it appears to be flying with the Starlink inflight internet services on board.

In search of the optimal curves for drag performance

12 October 2023 By Seth Miller Leave a Comment

Two of the radome/terminal options for IFC solutions. One is clearly much smaller, but is that enough to make it the most efficient?

Aircraft generally adhere to the “less is more” principle, with smaller and lighter components winning out for installation. So hearing that a larger radome might reduce drag on their aircraft relative to smaller options definitely piqued my curiosity.
