What is the difference between a de-ice system and an anti-ice system?
Generally, there are two different operating modes for ice protection systems: anti-icing and de-icing. Anti-icing means continuously heating the surface of the UAV, not allowing any ice to form. De-icing operates in cycles. In de-icing mode, a small, uncritical, amount of ice is allowed to form before it is removed.Sep 18, 2020
