Zusammenfassung:	An aircraft comprising a fuselage and a radome fixed to the fuselage. The radome defines a housing and the fuselage comprises a sealed bulkhead closing the housing. A weather radar antenna comprises a main panel. A plurality of peripheral panels are arranged around the main panel, inclined from a planar surface of the main panel and located on the same side of the planar surface. The housing contains the antenna which is mounted on the fuselage through a mechanical support fixed to the fuselage and to the weather radar antenna on the same side of the planar surface as the peripheral panels. A bird strike shield is located between the antenna and the sealed bulkhead. The shield comprises a dome with a top and a base, the base being fixed to the aircraft fuselage. An opening is formed at the top of the dome through which the mechanical support passes.
