  • Aircraft floor panel
    Patent number: 10279886
    Abstract: An aircraft heated floor panel includes a first support layer, a second support layer, and a heating layer located between the first support layer and the second support layer. An aircraft floor panel includes a floor panel body and a removal feature that provides a mechanism for the aircraft floor panel to be removed from an attached aircraft structure.
    Type: Grant

  • HEATED AIRCRAFT FLOOR PANELS
    Publication number: 20170238369
    Abstract: An aircraft heated floor panel includes a first face sheet, a second face sheet opposite the first face sheet, and core with an electrically conductive core portion. The electrically conductive core portion supports the first face sheet and the second face sheet, and is electrically insulated from the external environment to receive electrical power, resistively generate heat, and communicate heat to the first face sheet.

  • Heating elements for aircraft heated floor panels
    Patent number: 9623951
    Abstract: A method of forming a heating element includes depositing a conductive ink of silver particles in an epoxy resin on a dielectric film to create a conductive circuit, and heat curing the conductive circuit to achieve a resistivity of the heating element less than 1.68×10?6 ohm·meter. An aircraft heated floor panel includes at least one floor panel of an aircraft includes a conductive circuit positioned within the floor panel having a conductive ink of silver particles in an epoxy resin on a dielectric film.
