COATINGS FOR AIRCRAFT WINDOW SURFACES TO PRODUCE ELECTRICITY FOR MISSION-CRITICAL SYSTEMS AND MAINTENANCE LOAD ON COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT

摘要

A variety of methods for fabricating organic photovoltaic-based electricity-generating commercial aircraft fuselage surfaces are described. In particular, a method for fabricating curved electricity-generating commercial aircraft fuselage surfaces utilizing lamination of highly flexible organic photovoltaic films is described. High-throughput and low-cost fabrication options also allow for economical production.
