Abstract
An aircraft evacuation assembly for electricity dispersion may include a composite packboard housing defining a packboard compartment, wherein the composite packboard housing is electrically nonconductive, and a girt mounted to the composite packboard housing and disposed in the packboard compartment. The evacuation assembly may further include a metal stud extending through the composite packboard housing, wherein the metal stud includes a first end portion disposed external to the packboard compartment and a second end portion disposed internal to the packboard compartment in electrical contact with the girt. The evacuation assembly may further include a flexible strip attached to an external surface, relative to the packboard compartment, of the composite packboard housing. The flexible strip may be electrically conductive and the flexible strip may extend between and electrically connect the first end portion of the metal stud and an electrical interface.
