Aircraft radome apparatuses and methods are described. In some examples, a radome (102) is to be mounted on an aircraft (100). In some examples, the radome (102) includes an outer mold line (304) having a closure angle (316). In some examples, the closure angle (316) is configured to reduce a footprint of the radome (102). In some examples, the closure angle (316) is also configured to reduce a likelihood of separated airflow from occurring proximate a trailing portion (306) of the radome (102) during a flight of the aircraft (100). In some examples, the radome (102) is to be mounted on the aircraft (100) at a location that reduces a rate of change of a transverse cross-sectional area of the aircraft (100).
