Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.
