AIRCRAFT HEATED FLOOR PANEL

摘要

An aircraft heated floor panel (10/110/210) including a support level (40/140/142), a heater level (42/142/242) and a protective cover layer (16/116/216). The support level and the heater level are formed as a composi te structure (18/118/218), such as by curing a series of layers together to for m the structure. A thermal conductor (62) may be provided to more evenly distribute a generated heat pattern. Alternatively, a metal sheet (116/216) may be used for the cover layer which performs a heat distributing function. If a metal sheet (216) is used, an elastic-after-bonding adhesive (266) may be used to secure the metal sheet (216) to the heater level (242) to accommodat e different rates of thermal expansion.
