An engine monitoring system (100) for an aircraft engine (102) having a nacelle (110) extending annularly thereabout and a sensor (116) positioned radially inward therefrom. The system includes an engine control device (104) coupled communicatively to the sensor and configured to receive engine data from the sensor and/or receive instruction data from a transmitter device (512) positioned radially outward from a nacelle radially outward surface (111). The system also includes a composite panel (208,702,802,902) including at least a portion of the nacelle and a ground plane (602) positioned radially inward from the nacelle radially outward surface, the composite panel including an antenna (502) coupled communicatively to engine control device and a radome (405,504) positioned radially outward from ground plane. The antenna is configured to at least one of receive engine data from the engine control device and transmit engine data to a receiver device (510), and receive instruction data from the transmitter device and transmit instruction data to the engine control device.
