Abstract: A floor panel for installation in an aircraft includes a plurality of thermoplastic C-shaped stringers, a consolidated thermoplastic deltoid filler, a thermoplastic upper facing sheet, and a thermoplastic lower facing sheet. The stringers are disposed in a parallel arrangement with one another. The deltoid filler is disposed within a longitudinally-extending notch defined by a pair of adjacent stringers. The upper facing sheet covers an upper surface of the stringers and the deltoid filler. The lower facing sheet covers a lower surface of the stringers and the deltoid filler. The stringers, the deltoid filler, and the upper and lower facing sheets are integrally consolidated forming a unitary construction.
