Summary:

Force tests on rubber de-icer models of several different profiles, at approximately one-third full-scale, have been carried out in the N.A.C.A. 8-foot high-speed wind tunnel. The conventional de-icer installation, deflated, added about 15 percent to the smooth-wing drag and, inflated, added about 100 percent. An improved installation with flush attaching strips added about 10 percent, deflated. The bulging, or ballooning, of de-icers from the wing surface is described and some remedies are discussed.
