AIRCRAFT HEATER FLOOR PANEL

摘要

An aircraft heated floor panel ( 10 ) comprising a heat-generating layer ( 20 ) including an electric heater ( 52 ) having current supply lines ( 54 ) and a controller ( 60 ) which controls the current supplied to the heater ( 52 ) via the supply lines ( 54 ) to thereby control the heat generated by the layer ( 20 ). The controller ( 60 ) is integrated into the floor panel ( 10 ) whereby the panel has a stand-alone control system which need only be connected to the on-board power source of the aircraft, but can be connected to a main controller for networking or other purposes.
