Abstract
A streamlined housing for supporting a multi-dimensional electromagnetic transducer array is attached to an aircraft fuselage via a pivot support. The streamlined housing is supported by the pivot support in a torsionally unrestrained manner allowing a plane containing the longitudinal axis and pivot axis of the housing to remain substantially parallel to the plane of an incident airstream. Static aeroelastic stability is provided by mounting to the aft portion of the streamlined housing one or more rigidly attached stabilizer fins. Dynamic aeroelastic stability is provided by incorporating within the streamlined housing an adjustable ballast weight.
