Q: What is the max speed rating for this antenna? We are looking at the possibility to install this on a high-performance aircraft flying above 400 knots. If this exceeds the limitation of this antenna does aircraft spruce have an antenna with GPS & Com all in one for higher-performance aircraft?

Comant no longer provides a definitive speed rating. The antenna will work with light and heavy weight single engine aircraft as well as helicopters.
