- A scimitar antenna is a radio antenna so named because its shape resembles a talon-shaped curved sword of the same name. It was invented in 1958 by Edwin M. and William P. Turner. It is essentially a flat metal plate in a semi-circular or semi-elliptical shape with a wide end at one side and a narrow point at the other. Its shape makes it suited for use on aircraft or space vehicles. It was used for VHF communication on the Apollo command and service module. A U.S. patent was applied for on October 31, 1958, and granted on December 26, 1961. The inventors assigned the patent to the U.S. government, as represented by the Secretary of the Air Force. (en)
