A vehicle fairing includes an electrical routing for conducting power and/or control signals between spaced-apart components of a vehicle structure. The vehicle fairing includes an outer surface configured to form part of an outer surface of a vehicle body. The electrical routing includes a printed circuit board having a substrate and a first conductive path for conduction of electrical current or signals provided on the substrate. The substrate is substantially rigid and forms at least a portion of the outer surface of the vehicle fairing.

Vehicle fairing including an electrical routing

A fairing has a molded body and an electrical wire embedded therein. The body may be constructed from a molded plastics material or a composite material.

Aircraft wire fairing

A telescopic strut for electrically connecting a fixed structure of an aircraft to a movable structure mounted to the fixed structure, wherein the strut is adapted to be mechanically connected to the fixed structure by its one end and to be mechanically connected to the movable structure by its opposite end, the strut comprising a plurality of telescopic elements and containing a helically coiled electrical cable, wherein the cable is adapted to move between retracted and extended positions with the telescoping of the strut. Also, a method of operating an aircraft having a movable structure mounted to a fixed structure, and one or more of the telescopic struts mechanically and electrically connected between the fixed and movable structures.

Telescopic strut

A cable protector for connection to an aircraft electrical cable raceway, comprising a flexible conductive body defining a conduit through which an electrical cable can pass and an electrically conductive connection arrangement configured to enable connection of the body of the protector to a raceway in an electrically conductive manner.

Electrical cable protector

An electrical cable raceway for an aircraft, the electrical cable raceway being formed at least in part from a ceramic material.

Aircraft electrical cable raceway

A conduit harness retention system has a base, a first spacer, a second spacer and a cap which snap-fit together to retain P-clip harnesses in position spaced from an aircraft fuselage.

Aircraft conduit harness retention system

An aircraft pressure bulkhead electrical connector comprising a first connection terminal proximate at least one side of the electrical connector and a pressure seal arranged to maintain an applied air pressure differential across the electrical connector in use.

Method of assembling an aircraft

An aircraft raceway mounting apparatus comprising an attachment formation for attachment of the apparatus to an aircraft structure, a raceway receiving formation for receiving a raceway, the raceway receiving formation comprising a snap fit formation for retention of a raceway. An aircraft raceway clamping apparatus comprising a concave raceway receiving formation having a raceway support region and a mouth, a bridge member configured to at least partially span the mouth, a clamping member movably mounted to the bridge member to advance into the mouth.

Aircraft raceway mounting and clamping apparatus

A harness is provided comprising a body having a series of electrical conductors embedded therein and substantially running along the length thereof. The body may be part of a structural component such as stringer.

Aircraft cable routing harness

A cable routing clip comprises a base for attaching the clip to a structure. At least one cable clamp extends from the base. The, or each, cable clamp comprises a ring of resilient material having a split to enable a cable to be inserted therein. A plurality of fastening means are provided for closing the split or splits to retain a cable therein. Each of the plurality of fastening means is arranged to independently retain a cable in the event of the failure of another of the fastening means.

Cable routing clip

A conduit harness has an inner part and an outer part which are snap-fitted together to provide redundancy in the event of failure of either part.
