ABSTRACT:
A woven electrical transmission cable and method for the rapid repair of a defective electrical cable in an aircraft and the like is disclosed. A woven electrical transmission cable (A) for rapid repair includes longitudinal warp anchor cords (B) interwoven with warp and weft yarns (38, 40). The warp and weft yarns are woven in a prescribed pattern in which elongated electrical conductors (36) are bound in individual cells (22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32). A prescribed number of conductors (36) is included in each cell which may be easily traced and identified at opposing ends of the cable within the individual cells. This insures reliable termination at the ends of the cable. In accordance with the method, cable (A) is bonded to the skin (12a) of an aircraft adjacent access openings (14, 16) to repair a defective cable (11a ) which has been damaged by a bullet or shell through hole (11). Woven electrical repair cable (A) by-passes defective cable (11a) and may be terminated through the access openings. Longitudinal anchor cords (B) are sufficiently absorbent and have sufficient mass and surface to embed in a matrix material (20) for bonding the cable to the exterior aircraft skin. The weave pattern and cellular construction of woven cable (A) provides an aerodynamic profile so that the aircraft may be operated with the repair cable.
