    Abstract: A sensor system 2 is mounted to an aircraft fuselage 4 using an interface 6 comprising a pylon. The sensor system comprises a payload which is substantially housed within a store 8. The payload may include a ram air turbine (RAT) 10, sensors 12, processor 14 and transceiver 16. The aerodynamic properties, moments of inertia and mass distributions of the store are arranged to be the same as those for a store carrying a different payload that has already been certified for the aircraft. It is thus intended that a store can be provided which does not have to go through a certification process for a specific aircraft.
