During Period 2,
One milestone has been deleted and extended for mitigation measures:
- M4 CDR Conductive Coating extended to the end of the project (December 21st, 2021)
the set of planned Milestones have been successfully completed:
- M6 Evaluation Readiness Review passed, October
- M7 CDR Hardware Demonstrator passed, March 9th 2021
- M8 Evaluation Test Review passed, December 21st 2021
- M10 Thermal Simulation Results passed, March 29th, 2021
- M11 Final Review done, December 21st 2021
As a conclusion all objectives have been achieved except the integration of a ex-cellulose PTC film which maturity was too low (hot spots, repetability for large areas).
Thus, RADIANT PANEL project achieved in designing an optimized architecture to integrate radiative PTC heating layers on sidewall panels; manufacturing a scale 1 demonstrator based on A330 design; installing a complete Cabin Mock-up to implement the PMV model on percieved comfort by passengers, and confirming the themal simulations.
Airbus (TM) is "very interested in the development of a PTC heater. Several possible applications on a passenger aircraft have been identified".
