A modular element for an electrical power distribution network of an aircraft comprises a section of a bus comprising connection points at different locations distributed along its length. The bus section comprises interconnection points making it possible to link the modular element to other modular elements arranged longitudinally in series with the modular element. Electrical conductors of the bus section are housed in an enclosure corresponding to a structural part of the aircraft. This enclosure comprises openings facing the connection points of the bus section, so as to allow the connection of at least one electrical equipment item of the aircraft to the bus section by means of a local electrical link.

The modular element for a hybrid electrical power distribution and data communication network of an aircraft comprises a section of a bus and a set of data links extending substantially parallel along a length of the modular element. The bus section comprises connection points at different locations distributed along its length. The set of data links comprises connection points at different locations distributed along its length, each arranged in proximity to a connection point of the bus section. It also comprises a data link between each of the connection points and a cross-connect point. The bus section and the set of data links comprise interconnection points making it possible to link the modular element to first and second, other, modular elements arranged longitudinally in series with the modular element.
