ICE CONTROL SYSTEMS
There are two types of ice control systems used on
aircraft: anti-icing and de-icing systems. Anti icing systems prevents the
formation of ice, while the de-icing systems allow ice to accumulate, then it
is removed. This discussion will concern itself with onboard or in flight de-icing
and anti-icing. In flight anti- and de-icing method will be described now while
ground de-icing and anti-icing will be covered later. Each de-icing or
anti-icing system may use several different methods to remove the ice.
Anti-icing may be done by heating the surface or the component with hot air,
engine oil, or using electric heating elements
