Abstract:
A universal electrical interface panel adapted to interface an external component to a pair of parallel extending stringers of a fuselage of an aircraft, comprising:a planar panel having a width sufficient to extend over at least the pair of parallel extending stringers; at least a pair of groups of openings formed on said planar panel defining a corresponding plurality of mounting points for the external component to thereby enable the external component to be secured to the pair of stringers and to accommodate a degree of spacing variations between the stringers; and at least a pair of openings on said planar panel defining panel attachment points for the planar panel to thereby enable said planar panel to be secured to the pair of stringers through external fastening elements; at least a pair of openings on said planar panel defining cover attachment points for the planar panel to thereby enable a cover to be removably secured to said planar panel, wherein said cover substantially encloses the external component.
