  2. Aircraft deicing fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_deicing_fluid

    Deicing a large commercial aircraft typically consumes between 500 US gallons (1,900 L) and 1,000 US gallons (3,800 L) of diluted fluid. The cost of fluid varies widely due to market conditions. The amount de-icing service companies charge end users is generally in the range of US$8 to US$12 per diluted gallon (US$2.10 to US$3.20 per liter).

    Deicing an Airbus A330 Deicing a Cessna 172, Edmonton, Canada. In aviation, ground deicing of aircraft is the process of removing surface frost, ice or frozen contaminants on aircraft surfaces before an aircraft takes off. This prevents even a small amount of surface frost or ice on aircraft surfaces from severely impacting flight performance.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaceplane

    Spaceplanes must operate in space, like traditional spacecraft, but also must be capable of atmospheric flight, like an aircraft. Spaceplanes do not necessarily have to fly by their own propulsion, but instead often glide with their inertia while using aerodynamic surfaces to maneuver in the atmosphere during descent and landing.

  6. Deicing boot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deicing_boot

    A deicing boot is a type of ice protection system installed on aircraft surfaces to permit a mechanical deicing in flight. Such boots are generally installed on the leading edges of wings and control surfaces (e.g. horizontal and vertical stabilizer ) as these areas are most likely to accumulate ice which could severely affect the aircraft's ...

  8. Ice protection system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_protection_system

    Pneumatic boots are appropriate for low and medium speed aircraft, without leading edge lift devices such as slats, so this system is most commonly found on smaller turboprop aircraft such as the Saab 340 and Embraer EMB 120 Brasilia. Pneumatic de-icing boots are sometimes found on other types, especially older aircraft.
