Abstract
The problem of the formation of ice on airplane wings and propeller blades and of its prevention or quick removal is discussed in the paper. The most practical device for the removal of ice on the leading edges of airplane parts is asserted to be a rubber overshoe capable of being inflated and deflated with an air pump at the rate of three times a minute. A special oil mixture gives the rubber properties of low adhesion toward ice. The removal of ice from propeller blades has not been successfully demonstrated.
