Abstract
With the measures described herein, a structural composite laminate is provided that includes a structural fuel cell, a structural supercondensator and a structural battery. Each of these components is configured in a self-supporting manner, such that aircraft parts, like exterior panels, may be manufactured from the laminate. The aircraft parts are capable of generating electrical energy by means of the structural fuel cell and distribute the electrical energy over the whole aircraft without cabling. Furthermore, short power demand peaks can be absorbed by the structural supercondensator, whereas the basic load is supplied by the structural battery.
Claims20
A structural composite laminate structure for an aircraft component, wherein the composite laminate structure comprises a plurality of structural layer structures stacked on top of one another, comprising:
- a structural fiber composite layer structure made of a fiber composite material;
- a structural energy generation layer structure which forms a structural fuel cell, and which is applied to the fiber composite layer structure;
- a structural supercapacitor layer structure which forms a structural supercapacitor;
- and
- a structural battery layer structure which forms a structural battery, and which is applied to the supercapacitor layer structure.
