text: In the design of radomes for high speed objects such as supersonic missiles or supersonic aircraft, it is extremely desirable if not mandatory from an aerodynamic standpoint to utilize a long and pointed radome or a radome having a high fineness ratio, i.e., a radome having a relatively large ratio of length to diameter.
text: For a low drag and a consequent substantial increase in flight range, a radome having a high-fineness ratio is most advantageous; however, the use of such a shape has one critical disadvantage in that it results in a large change in boresight error as the radar beam is swept through the pointed nose portion of the radome.
text: A radome suitable for use on high speed missiles or aircraft must therefore possess the advantages of both a hemispherical-shaped radome and a radome having a high fineness ratio.
text: A hollow, frusto-conical shaped radome as utilized in the preferred embodiment of the invention has been found to perform very satisfactorily in radomes having a relatively high fineness ratio.
text: Another object of the invention is to permit the use of a radome having a high-fineness ratio in high-speed missiles or the like.
