ABSTRACT:
A pair of like electrical/electronic equipment racks are uniquely arranged in an avionics bay located in the belly (lower lobe) of a wide-bodied aircraft, with the fronts of the racks facing a central access aisle that extends lengthwise of the fuselage between the racks, and with the rear of each rackfacing one of two outboard aisles that extend parallel to the central aisle along the sides of the bay. At the forward end of the bay, a transversely extending passageway interconnects the central aisle with the two outboard aisles and enables the ground crew to access both the front and rear of each rack by entering the bay through a ground access hatch disposed in the lower most central portion of the fuselage and opening into the bay at the central aisle. Emergency in-flight access to the bay from the upper lobe, by in-flight personnel, is also available through a hatch disposed in a deck lying above and slightly aft of the avionics bay. Each rack is constructed of a light-weight, but rugged framework that defines a plurality of elevationally spaced module receiving compartments, each compartment accommodating a plurality of side-by-side plug-in modules.
