Abstract
A method for making an electroluminescent marking on an exterior wall of an aircraft, including a step of superpositioning of layers designed or configured to produce the electroluminescent marking on a first face of a flexible backing distinct from the aircraft to obtain a marking tape and a step of affixing the marking tape to the exterior wall of the aircraft. The disclosure herein also concerns a marking tape for the implementing of the method, a marking device obtained from the method, and an aircraft comprising the marking device.
Claims11
A method for making an electroluminescent marking on an exterior wall of an aircraft, the exterior wall comprising a panel with an exterior face and an interior face and being bounded by an edge, the method comprising:
- superpositioning layers configured to produce the electroluminescent marking on a first face of a flexible backing distinct from the aircraft to obtain a marking tape;
- affixing the marking tape to the exterior wall of the aircraft;
- and
- affixing at least one connection tape to the exterior face of the panel as far as the edge of the panel to connect the electroluminescent marking to an electrical control and power supply system positioned inside the aircraft.
A marking device for making an electroluminescent marking on an exterior wall of an aircraft, the marking device comprising:
- a marking tape having an electroluminescent marking;
- the marking tape comprising a flexible backing with a first face having a superpositioning of layers configured to produce the electroluminescent marking and a second face configured to be pasted against an exterior face of a panel of the exterior wall of the aircraft as well as an extension configured to extend on the exterior face of the panel as far as one edge of the panel in order to connect the electroluminescent marking to an electrical control and power supply system positioned inside the aircraft.
