The proposed project will determine the feasibility of the use of advanced Type II fluids for the de-icing/anti-icing of General Aviation (GA) aircraft with takeoff safety speeds (V2 ) of generally less than 85 knot. Type II fluids will be applied to several GA category air craft . The ice protection capability of the fluid will be evaluated f or different freezing precipitation conditions. The effects of remaining fluid on the aircraft after takeoff rotation will be evaluated. .These effects will be quantified in terms of handling and performance characteristics. Anticipated Results/Potential Commercial Applications of Results: Effective ground ice protection for GA aircraft by using new Type II fluids . These fluids will benefit both commercial and military applications since their hold time from de-ice to takeoff is frequently substantially longer than is typical for GA aircraft.Anticipated Results/Potential Commercial Applications Of Results:Effective ground ice protection for GA aircraft by using new Type II fluids .
