I’m curious here and I just can’t understand the concept. How do planes wings stay de-iced? When you are traveling in the winter I know they spray de-icer on the wings sometimes. But, when you get moving to 5-600MPH how does the de-icer keep working?
In the summers, they don’t spray but last week I was flying through a snow storm at 36k feet and I know they didn’t spray before the flight. How do the wings stay free of ice?
