Video: The reason the wing is not attached to ice

The wing is designed with a special shape to generate lift, which allows the aircraft to take off and fly in the air. But when exposed to cold air, ice can form and cling to the wings of the aircraft, altering their shape, affecting the wing's ability to operate, making it difficult to store and more dangerous.

Water and glycol mixes will be sprayed on the plane before takeoff.

Therefore, before taking off, aircraft are often sprayed with a special mixture. It is a mixture of water and glycol , sprayed in the form of water spray. This mixture has a lower freezing temperature than water and is heated when sprayed, helping to melt ice, while preventing snow ice from forming and accumulating on the wings of the plane. This mixture works in about 1-1.5 hours.
