Fort Worth-based Trimec Aviation is developing a supplemental type certificate (STC) for the installation of Gogo Business Aviation’s Galileo HDX satcom system in the super-midsize Gulfstream G200. Gogo Galileo is scheduled to begin service by year-end and runs on Eutelsat’s OneWeb low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellite network.

The half-duplex HDX electronically steered antenna is the smaller of two antennas that Gogo will offer for its Galileo service and will be the first product available for Galileo. It will fit on turboprops to larger jets and weighs 21.6 pounds and measures 24 inches long, 11.8 inches wide, and 2.1 inches tall.
