Aircraft with AC systems may use voltages as high as 110V (400Hz). But they always use a two wire system.

Therefore unllike the above list, unless you hold both wires of the aircraft AC system you can not electrocute yourself and then it is a 110 V shock compared to 230V.
Not true, for starters its 115v 400hz and secondly if part of your body is touching bare metal attached to the airframe and you happen to touch a live AC wire or terminal you will get an electric shock.
