    Concorde Prototype & Pre-Production equipment racking

    Racking to accommodate electrical and electronic equipment i s located
    in the flight compartment, under floor and in the forward and
    rear vestibule as shown left.
    The racks are designed to accommodate equipment of standard air transport racking sizes, which is mounted on removable shelves or in
    modules on the shelves, located at the rear by connectors and secured at the front by hold-down screw assemblies or latch handles.
    The shelves are positioned on runners and secured to the racking by bolts
    at each side. 
    Electrical connections to the majority of units are made via junction boxes at the rear which are integral with each shelf. The connections from the aircraft wiring are made via plugs and receptacles on the junction box lid.

    Why not join in with discussions on the latest Concorde developments

    Our Facebook forum is where we discuss in detail our current projects, share photo's and where fans of the aircraft can ask questions direct to the engineering team. We are proud to be associated with both Brooklands restoration and the Le Bourget Conservation team so the pool of knowledge is immense. Many of our engineers have years of knowledge of working on the aircraft. So like our site, join our forum and follow us on Twitter.
