A better air-band antenna for Ultralight and Light Sport Aircraft

• High-performance half-wave end-fed design
• Pre-tuned and completely ground-plane-free - perfect for composite/fabric aircraft
• Installs in minutes without soldering or drilling - glues in place on an inside surface
• High-efficiency, wide bandwidth = greater range and clarity
• Pre-wired mil-spec BNC connector - ready to plug-and-play
• Receives VOR with appropriate radio
• The longest lasting, best-performing, easiest-to-install and least expensive
  air-band antenna you'll ever love!

Installation

Installation of the Air Whip is a snap. Simply lay out the whip portion of the antenna into the aircraft nose, side-panel or even flooring - any area that is free of metal and spanned by a composite or fabric surface. The antenna is then fastened in place using velcro, glue, cable ties, or even duct tape. The Air Whip has been mounted in Cub floors, Champ tails, Challenger noses, and Chinook sides, all with great success.

Principle of operation

The Air Whip uses a unique common-mode inductive core made of VHF ferrite material to isolate the feedline from the main body of the antenna.  This permits feeding a complete half-wave dipole antenna from the end rather that in the middle, and gives an antenna that installs as a single length of wire.  Since a dipole is a complete antenna, there is no need to provide a groundplane as is the case with ordinary quarter-wave whips.

The result is an antenna that has better bandwidth and higher efficiency than traditional quarter-wave antennas
and is much easier to install. Expect better range, clearer communications, and next to zero maintainence.

Other applications

• Excellent ELT antenna - non-rigid structure enhances mechanical durability - more likely to survive
• Great temporary base antenna - strap it to a stick and plug it in
• Hundreds installed with great results and reviews.
