A multifunctional fuselage structure has been developed. It provides the structural integrity necessary for smaller aircraft and permits the transmission of high-power microwave radiation characteristics for long-range surveillance radars. In particular, the solution permits a straightforward integration and allows for a curvature that improves buckling performance.
