2. Dear experts,
After a highly successful international conference on More Electric Aircraft last November in Hamburg, it is now time to look
at the infrastructure of the power distribution of an aircraft. It is my great pleasure to invite you to the “Advanced Aircraft Cabling”
in the Radisson BLU Hotel at Hamburg Airport, Germany. At this expert networking conference you will get the opportunity to
learn from aircraft wire harness installation case studies and best practices and gain deep insights into the latest aircraft cable
technologies.
The main concern of airlines, aircraft and wire harness manufacturers is to secure the power supply for the growing number
of crucial electronic applications while respecting the limitations for weight and space that the wire harness occupies.
At these two conference days and four specialist workshops, you have the opportunity to exchange and discuss experience
on the latest approaches towards the design, manufacturing and engineering of aircraft harness wires as well as reliable
­aircraft cable protection, repair and maintenance strategies that are vital for operating aircrafts in a safe and reliable manner.
Meet leading representatives from airlines, aircraft manufacturers, air framers, cable and wire harness manufacturers as well as
­component suppliers. Experience case studies and best practices for advanced aircraft cabling operations.
I look forward to meeting you in Hamburg!
Kind Regards
Gabriele Frohwein
Project Manager
