Aircraft Electrical Ice Protection Systems
R.A. FosterTHERMAL 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…
Materials and Manufacturing Techniques
M.A. NewmanTHE simplest definitive description of the electro‐thermal de‐icing system postulated by Dunlop is the encapsulation of selected resistors within thermally conductive, but…
Heating Element Design Features
A.R.J. SmithTHE ultimate performance of aircraft electrical ice protection systems is dependent to a large degree upon the design of effective healing elements. After considerable research…
Control Systems for Aircraft Electrical Ice Protection
J.E.A. GauldTHE main purpose of this article is to deal with control system problems encountered with aircraft de‐icing applications.
