The pursuit to design more lightweight aircraft that can travel over greater distances never ceases. One area that has recieved much attention is the development of lighter and more aerodynamic antennas. Researchers at the NASA Glenn Research Center at the forefront of this effort. The research team, which includes Jessica Cashman, Baochau Nguyen, Haiquan Guo, Marcos Pantoja, Kevin Cavicchi, and Mary Ann Meador, is designing flexible polymer materials that can be used to construct lightweight, low-drag antennas that lie along the surface of an aircraft.
