An Investigation of a Thermal Ice Prevention System for a C-46 Cargo Airplane. 7 - Effect of the Thermal System on the Wing Structure Stresses as Established in Flight

Abstract

The thermal ice prevention system is investigated to determine change in stress at various locations in wing outer panel caused by operation of thermal system. wire resistance strain gages and thermocouples were installed at numerous points of wing. Change in stress and temperature are obtained for two speeds in level flight and one speed in 2g bank. Curves show variation of stress and temperature for two wing stations. In order to evaluate magnitude and seriousness of stress changes, comparison is made with allowable stresses for unheated wing.
