ABSTRACT:
Vibration isolated sensor apparatus with minimized air stream obstruction for external mounting on an aircraft. An elongated multi-gimbaled sensor assembly disposed within a cylindrical pod housing for extension along a longitudinal axis of an aircraft is resiliently supported for vibration isolation by a circumferential array of cantilevered longitudinally-extending leaf springs. By actuation of crank arms at the supported ends of the leaf springs, the direction and extent of such resilient support can be made to match g forces created by maneuvering of the aircraft, thereby maintaining minimal radial-wise spring travel clearance-way and minimal transverse section size.
