Abstract
A device for shielding aircraft avionics and other electronic equipment from electromagnetic radiation generated by electronic devices used aboard the aircraft. The device includes a contiguous conductive shield which can be of wire mesh and which partially or completely surrounds a compartment or compartments of the aircraft, such as the passenger compartment and cargo compartments, and absorbs and dissipates the electromagnetic radiation which originates in the compartment from the electronic devices. The aircraft windows are also shielded with the conductive shield or, alternatively, may be coated with a transparent thin conductive polymer to allow better viewing.
