Landing gear electrical swivel

An electrical swivel system comprising:

• a movable swivel member comprising:
• a movable member mounting apparatus mounting the movable swivel member to a landing gear;
• an external gear connector through which electrical signals are conducted;
• a movable member interface apparatus;
• a fixed swivel member comprising:
• a fixed member mounting apparatus mounting the fixed swivel member to an airframe;
• an external aircraft connector through which electrical signals are conducted;
• and
• a fixed member interface apparatus;
• wherein the movable member interface apparatus comprises a movable track comprising a moveable track electrical contact,
• wherein the fixed member interface apparatus comprises a fixed track comprising a fixed track electrical contact,
• wherein the movable track electrical contact contacts the fixed track electrical contact so that electrical current is conducted,
• wherein the movable swivel member and the fixed swivel member comprise complementary shapes whereby the movable swivel member nests within the fixed swivel member,
• wherein the movable swivel member travels along an arc length between a first end of the fixed swivel member and a second end of the fixed swivel member, and
• wherein the fixed swivel member further comprises a tension member disposed between the fixed member mounting apparatus and the fixed member interface apparatus whereby force is exerted on the fixed track electrical contact.
