2. Fuel system icing inhibitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_System_Icing_Inhibitor

   Fuel system icing inhibitor (FSII) is an additive to aviation fuels that prevents the formation of ice in fuel lines. FSII is sometimes referred to by the registered, genericized trademark Prist. Jet fuel can contain a small amount of dissolved water that does not appear in droplet form. As an aircraft gains altitude, the temperature drops and ...

3. JP-8 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JP-8

   JP-8, or JP8 (for "Jet Propellant 8"), is a jet fuel, specified and used widely by the US military.It is specified by MIL-DTL-83133 and British Defence Standard 91-87, and similar to commercial aviation's Jet A-1, but with the addition of corrosion inhibitor and anti-icing additives.

4. 2- (2-Methoxyethoxy)ethanol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-(2-Methoxyethoxy)ethanol

   2-(2-Methoxyethoxy)ethanol, also known under trade names Methyl carbitol, is an industrial solvent and is also commonly used as a fuel system icing inhibitor (FSII) in jet fuels. It is a clear, colorless, hygroscopic liquid. Structurally it is an alcohol and an ether, with a formula CH 3 OCH 2 CH 2 OCH 2 CH 2 OH. At direct contact it causes ...

   U.S. regulators are warning airlines to limit the use of an anti-icing system on Boeing 737 Max jets in dry air to avoid overheating engine-housing parts, which could cause them to break away from ...

6. Ice protection system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_protection_system

   Aircraft icing increases weight and drag, decreases lift, and can decrease thrust. Ice reduces engine power by blocking air intakes. When ice builds up by freezing upon impact or freezing as runoff, it changes the aerodynamics of the surface by modifying the shape and the smoothness of the surface which increases drag, and decreases wing lift ...

7. Aircraft deicing fluid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_deicing_fluid

   Deicing a Boeing 737 with Type I fluid A layer of Type IV anti-icing fluid. De-icing fluids come in a variety of types, and are typically composed of ethylene glycol (EG) or propylene glycol (PG), along with other ingredients such as thickening agents, surfactants (wetting agents), corrosion inhibitors, colors, and UV-sensitive dye.

8. Icing (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icing_(aeronautics)

   Icing on UAVs is a global phenomenon, and icing conditions at the operational altitude can occur year round around the world. However, icing risks are particularly big in the sub arctics, Arctic and Antarctic. In large parts of the Nordics, for example, icing conditions are present from 35% to more than 80% of the time from September through ...

9. Jet fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_fuel

   Jet fuel is often used in diesel-powered ground-support vehicles at airports. However, jet fuel tends to have poor lubricating ability in comparison to diesel, which increases wear in fuel injection equipment. [citation needed] An additive may be required to restore its lubricity. Jet fuel is more expensive than diesel fuel but the logistical ...
