An aircraft system has a first structure, and a second structure coupled to the first structure and movable between first and second positions relative to the first structure. The aircraft system has an electrical connector for providing an electrical connection running between respective components housed within the first and second structures. The electrical connector has a cable harness housed within the first structure, and a connector body coupled to an end of the cable harness. The connector body extends through an aperture formed in the first structure, and the connector body is coupled to the second structure such that movement of the second structure between the first and second positions relative to the first structure causes the connector body to move through the aperture.

Aircraft systems and electrical connectors

An aircraft wing structure () including a spar () and a systems module () that is releasably secured to brackets () on a first side of the spar () and the second, opposite side of the spar is configured to define a wall of a fuel tank of an aircraft wing.

Wing construction

A cable routing system is disclosed having dielectric, or insulating, liner which is installed within a cable routing channel, or raceway, to subdivide the channel into at least two secondary channels. This can achieve more efficient use of space and enable more flexible placement of cables within the channels while meeting safety requirements. Installation of cables into the channel can include inserting the cables into the dielectric liner before the installation of the dielectric liner into the cable routing channel. The cable routing system can be used in an aircraft, including within space-constrained areas of the aircraft such as inside a wing.
