De-Icing Fluid Separation Tests
Transport Canada and IAR have taken a leading role in advancing aircraft ground de-icing and anti-icing technology for winter operations. Of particular interest was determining the shedding characteristics of wing contamination during the takeoff roll. The Falcon 20 is being used to establish conditions for which wing contamination (due to anti-icing fluid failure in freezing precipitation) adheres to the wing of a jet transport aircraft up to rotation speed.
