Four Methods to Separate Flight Control Wiring Harnesses in an Aircraft
Posted by John Ashour on August 6, 2018
The F-16 like many aircraft is a “fly by wire” aircraft. Instead of cables and pulleys, the aircraft is controlled by electrical signals. The electrical signals tell the flight control surfaces how to move and how fast to move. There are 5 flight control surfaces on the F-16: (1) leading edge flap, (2) trailing edge … Continue reading “Four Methods to Separate Flight Control Wiring Harnesses in an Aircraft”

What are Disconnects and Why Do Aircraft Have Them?
Posted by Chris Vardy on March 19, 2018
A question I get asked often is “How many electrical wiring harnesses are in a single F-16?” The exact number is dependent on when the F-16 was assembled and what country is flying the F-16. So, what does that have to do with disconnects? It has to do with aircraft maintenance and safety. The more … Continue reading “What are Disconnects and Why Do Aircraft Have Them?”
How Many Flight Control Wiring Harnesses are there in an F-16?

What is the Priority List of Wiring Harnesses to Replace on 20-Year-Old F-16’s?
Posted by John Ashour on February 5, 2018
InterConnect’s previous article described which areas inside an F-16 house the most problematic wiring harnesses. The purpose of this article is to get more precise by listing F-16 wiring harness part numbers as well as the areas they are generally located. InterConnect offers many wiring harness replacement programs, sometimes calling them rewire programs. InterConnect’s most … Continue reading “What is the Priority List of Wiring Harnesses to Replace on 20-Year-Old F-16’s?”
