Abstract

Content

DATA exist now for the design of heated wings on a fundamental wet-air basis. The design method takes into consideration three factors:

1.
Meteorological and flight conditions.
2.
Area of water impingement, and rate and distribution of impingement.
3.
Rate of evaporation.

All of the water intercepted by a wing which is to be heated only in the leading-edge region must be dispersed by evaporation. The design method provides for determining the heat required and the extent of heated area needed to evaporate the intercepted water.
