Abstract:
1. An aircraft structure comprising: a primary structure including structural elements including longitudinal frame elements, transverse frame elements and transverse braces; a first multitude of lines in a fixed manner connected to the longitudinal frame elements and extending along the longitudinal frame elements; a second multitude of parallel lines in a fixed manner connected to the transverse frame elements, and extending along a circumference of the aircraft structure, with a longitudinal direction that intersects a longitudinal direction of the first multitude of lines so that longitudinal directions of the first multitude of lines and the second multitude of lines are configured to form a network that spans the aircraft structure in a plurality of sections; a third multitude of parallel, horizontal lines in a fixed manner connected to the transverse braces with a longitudinal direction that intersects a longitudinal direction of the first multitude of lines; connecting elements installed in the aircraft structure and configured to connect selected lines of the first multitude of lines to selected lines of the second multitude of lines at selected points of intersection of the network, and further configured to form transmission lines; and an access coupling that taps at least one line of the first multitude of lines to connect an aircraft system component to the at least one line of the first multitude of lines, wherein the access coupling is positionable along the entire length of one of the longitudinal frame elements to which the at least one line of the first multitude of lines is connected.
