The series provides the lightest weight and strongest blade antenna at lower cost for current use on commercial jet aircraft.
In addition to its low initial price, further cost reductions are realized due to the weight and drag reduction of the antenna. The fuel saving per shipset is calculated to be 160.5 gallons per aircraft per year.
The C50-17 antenna is original equipment for the Boeing 757, 767 and 777 aircraft. Other models in the C50-17 Series can also be used on Boeing 707, 727, 737, 747; Douglas DC-8, DC-9, DC-10; Airbus A300 Series and other commercial aircraft. Many of the C50-17 Series are interchangeable with other types of antennas presently in use.
