Patent abstract
An aircraft wing that includes a conductive ground plane adjacent the wingtip, where the ground plane conforms to an aerodynamic surface of the wing. Because the ground plane conforms to the aerodynamic surface, it has minimal impact on the aerodynamics of the wing. The ground plane can be part of a wingtip device that is detachably secured to the tip of a main wing portion. The ground plane described herein can be used on any aircraft wing structure that employs an antenna including, but not limited to, a wing of a UAV.
