How much weight and wind can your frame system take?

How much weight and wind can your frame system take?

We have an application where we have an air inflated Teflon/Kevlar laminated fabric Radome containing a delicate antenna that is 18’ diameter. The total weight of the radome fabric is less than 150 lbs when deflated. We are looking for a non-conductive frame system to install inside to take the weight of the dome with some wind in the event we loose inflation pressure.

Dear Craig,

Thank you for your inquiry.

Our frame system is dependent upon our covering for support, so the frame alone would not sufficiently support your structure.

You could however put the entire dome inside your inflatable Radome and thereby support it if deflated.

Sincerely, Robert Gillis
