Question

What some one please describe a typical wing anit-icing system.?

Answer 1

for now go with Victor Ellis.

Answer 2

There are three basic types of anti-icing systems.

One is pneumatic rubber boots that inflate and break off any accumulated ice.  This is technically a de-icing system, not an anti-icing system.  Compressed air comes from the airplane's vacuum system to inflate the boots.  When they are not inflated, a vacuum is applied to the boots to keep them tight on the wings.

Another system is called a TKS system.  Alcohol is pumped through thousands of tiny holes on the leading edge of the wing to keep ice from adhering to the airplane.  This is known as a "weeping wing".

The most common system in jets is a hot wing.  Bleed air (hot, compressed air) comes off of the compressor of the engine and is ducted to the front of the wings.  It usually mixes with ambient air to control the temperature.  By keeping the wing hot, moisture will not freeze to the wing.

Answer 3

Often, you'll see a rubber surface on the leading edge of a wing. That is charged with air, which causes it to expand slightly and crack any accumulated ice. This is used mostly on smaller aircraft. Such rubber de-icing boots can also be heated with an imbedded electrical element. Another system that is used more on larger aircraft takes hot air from the engines and pumps it into cavities below the surface of the wing. This warms the outer surface enough to prevent icing.

hmmmmmmmmm... fourteen illegal aliens with propane torches.

Answer 5

I could e-mail you something tomorrow on the bleed air type used on the C130.

Most bleed air systems use flow control (butterfly) valves to shut the engine bleed air on and off, which flows to ducting in the leading edge. There are temp control valves that will shut the air off if the temperature gets too high as well.

If you want something, send me a message.

Answer 6

Im sorry to barge into this question because I have a question to ask you about my Axolotl question. I have a tank 60cm long, 30cm wide and i think 25cm tall. I  have two in there, can you have three in that size tank? Please respond on my axolotl question. Again really sorry!
