n the F-16 Falcon, every available square inch of internal wing and body space is used to carry either fuel, ordinance or a critical air borne system. Usable space is at such a premium, that the cable harnesses used to transmit fuel consumption data, signal the Fly-by-Wire flight control system, and provide connectivity to and from critical avionic devices must actually travel through the jet's internal fuel tanks - a design and engineering challenge of the first order, and one faced every day for the last 15 years by Glenair's Air Borne Controls division.
