Not sure what that means, but they do tend to go together. A fan with a flat
panel works for a diy job but is not optimal design costwise for a new
product.

All you need for a fanned rad to work, take up way less space and be much
preferred is silence,

I can see how you get quiet for a reasonable amount

But silent?

and that's not a challenge.

For you, maybe :-)

If an engineer isn't able to design a silent fan they had better stay out of that business.
