Functions of aircraft deicing vehicle

The special deicer for aircraft is a special vehicle for removing frost, snow and ice from the fuselage, wings, flaps, tails and landing gear of aircraft in winter or snowy weather.

The attachment of ice and snow to the fuselage will increase the weight of the aircraft and is not conducive to the flight safety of the aircraft. De-icing of landing gear and other components is to ensure the safety of aircraft when taking off and landing. There is deicing liquid phenylethylene glycol in the deicing vehicle, which can be directly sprayed for defrosting and icing. Thereby eliminating flight safety hazards.
