ABSTRACT:
A retractable sensor system (12) for an aircraft has a sensor (16) coupled to an actuation mechanism (18). The sensor (16) moves from a retracted position to an expanded position. A reinforced elastomer section (14) in an exterior surface (48) of the aircraft covers the sensor (16) and the actuation mechanism (18). The reinforced elastomer section (14) has an interior surface and an exterior surface and the sensor (16) has a portion adjacent to the interior surface. The reinforced elastomer section (14) has a flush position and an expanded position.
