1. A system for data-over-power in an aircraft having powered aircraft devices, the system comprising:
means for obtaining direct current power for use by the powered aircraft devices;
means for receiving the direct current power and for digitally modulating radio frequency data onto twisted pair data-over-power lines, such that the twisted pair data-over-power lines provide control data and the direct current power to the powered aircraft devices; and
means for providing the control data to be digitally modulated by the means for receiving;
wherein the means for obtaining, the means for receiving, and the means for providing are onboard the aircraft; and
wherein the twisted pair data-over-power lines supply the direct current power to operate the powered aircraft devices, and to communicate the control data to control operation of the powered aircraft devices.
