RESISTIVE HEATING CIRCUIT, AIRCRAFT STRUCTURE HEATED OR PROTECTED AGAINST ICE, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A RESISTIVE HEATING CIRCUIT.

摘要

a resistive heating circuit for a heated or frost-protected aircraft structure includes a flexible dielectric substrate, a resistive heating element supported by the substrate and a busbar. the busbar is electrically connected to the resistive heating element and includes a conductive ink printed on the substrate, so that the busbar and the resistive heating element flex freely with the aircraft's structure heated or protected against frost. aircraft structures heated or protected against ice and methods of manufacturing resistive heating circuits for aircraft structures heated or protected against ice are also described.
