AIRCRAFT ICE CONTROL SYSTEMS


  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
