Abstract: Civil aircraft have specific requirements for the anti-bird strike performance of the structure, so the installation of various types of antennas must carry out bird strike assessment to avoid catastrophic consequences because of bird strikes. In this paper, the anti-bird strike performance of a civil aircraft equipped with an antenna is studied by numerical calculation. It shows that the antenna adapter may be plastically deformed after a bird strike, but it will not be damaged or fall off from the body structure as a whole. Therefore, the satcom antenna will not cause catastrophic consequences after a bird strike and meet the airworthiness requirements.
