Development and Application of HEATED WINGS

THIS report, a discussion of the design problems in heated surface anti-icing equipment, consolidates and compiles all of the heat transfer data known to be available from past experimentation and considered to be required for current and future designs.

Consequently, the author believes that the discussion contained herein will be of assistance in some degree to designers and engineers confronted with problems relating to heated surface anti-icing.

The report deals with a rapid means of calculating heated wing requirements, charts of heat transfer coefficients, a discussion of instrumentation techniques, and a method of calculating surface temperatures in dry air.
