ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for transporting and entertaining passengers comprise an aircraft, a rotary supporting structure, equipment connected to the aircraft and to the rotary supporting structure for mounting the rotary supporting structure in the aircraft, a set of antenna elements constituting a directional television antenna on the rotary supporting structure for receiving transmitted television signals, equipment for selectively changing the orientation of the directional television antenna, including equipment coupled to the supporting structure for selectively rotating the supporting structure, and equipment connected to the directional television antenna for processing and displaying the received television signals inside the aircraft.
In an aircraft, there is provided a structural member on the outside of the aircraft of a material permeable to transmitted television signals. A container of electrically insulating material is located inside the aircraft and adjacent the permeable structural member. This container has a circular peripheral rim portion and a pair of spaced sheets located at opposite ends of the circular rim portion and delimiting a circular hollow space having a height smaller than its radius. A rotary supporting structure is located in the container. A set of antenna elements constituting a directional television antenna are located on the rotating supporting structure for receiving transmitted television signals. Equipment for selectively changing the orientation of the directional television antenna includes equipment coupled to the supporting structure for selectively rotating the supporting structure. Equipment is connected to the direction television antenna for processing and displaying the received television signals inside the aircraft.
