Abstract

THERMAL protection from the effects of ice built up can be achieved by means of anti‐icing or de icing. Most aircraft structures are de‐iced since this consumes considerably less power, but in some cases it is essential that the surface be anti‐iced, (e.g. engine intakes, where ice ingestion to the engine is unacceptable and any formation of ice must therefore be prevented).
