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