Summary:

The various possible means of preventing ice adhesion on airplane surfaces are critically reviewed. Results are presented of tests of the adhesive forces between ice and various solid and liquid surfaces.

It is concluded that the de-icing of airplane wings by heat from the engine exhaust shows sufficient promise to warrant full-scale tests. For propellers, at least, and possibly for certain small areas such as windshields, radio masts, et cetera, the use of de-icing or adhesion-preventing liquids will provide the best means of protection.
