Or how about using two half reels of antenna with a "device" on the two  
wire
ends to make them "fly" at an angle to the aircrafts track? We now have  a
half-wave V-dipole. Again lowish impedance and reasonable bandwidth.
 
 
Clive, Good thoughts on the TACAMO airborne VLF antenna.
 
So if they are able to configure two reels of wire as a full half-wave  
hanging inverted V dipole 
at 17.8KHz at 30,000 ft no wonder they can put out a whale of a  signal 
with a wider
bandwidth!
