Airplane deicing, crucial for safe winter flights, uses glycol-based fluids to prevent ice buildup that can reduce lift.
Airplane deicing is vital for winter flights as ice can slash lift by up to 30%, affecting maneuverability and increasing stall speed.
The process uses glycol-based fluids in a two-step method: deicing with heated Type I fluid followed by anti-icing with Type II or IV fluids to prevent further ice.
Propylene glycol, less toxic than ethylene glycol, is commonly used today.
Environmental efforts include recycling and treating the fluids to minimize ecological impact.
