What is the function of the Ground Service Bus in the Dassault Falcon 7X?

The Ground Service Bus in the Dassault Falcon 7X plays a key role in supporting the fueling system operations. This particular function is crucial during ground maintenance and servicing, as it allows for the necessary power distribution needed for fueling activities without relying on the aircraft’s main power systems.

By connecting ground servicing equipment and operations to the Ground Service Bus, personnel can access essential systems like fuel pumps or valves safely and effectively. This capability enhances operational efficiency and minimizes the need for complex wiring or power sources while ensuring that all fueling tasks can be conducted safely while the aircraft is on the ground.

The other functions listed, such as providing power to emergency lighting, supplying fuel to the engines, or activating the fire suppression system, are managed by different systems and components within the aircraft that are not linked directly to the Ground Service Bus.
