An Investigation of a Thermal Ice-Prevention System for a C-40 Cargo Airplane. 1 - Analysis of the Thermal Design for Wings, Empennage and Windshield
Abstract
Purpose of analysis was to establish thermal requirements for C-46 ice-prevention equipment on basis of certain temperature rise for all points on heated surfaces of wings and empennage, and of a specified heat flow through outer panel of windshield. Design analysis showed that thermal requirements for anti-icing system of wings, empennage, and windshield were within limits of practicability, although complete protection of windshield could not be accomplished in specific application when utilizing a secondary heat exchanger.
