"Revolutionary Solution: General Aviation News Discovers Ice-Free Flying"
James Wiebe from Radiant Instruments is collaborating with Comp Air Aviation to develop an aircraft deicing system that uses an electromagnetic pulse to deform the skin of the aircraft and shed ice. By discharging roughly 1,000 volts through a coil at a peak current of 1,000 amps, the system delivers a powerful blow to the surface, causing ice to debond and fall away. This technology has the potential to improve safety and utility in general aviation.
