Ice Prevention on Aircraft by Means of Engine Exhaust Heat and a Technical Study of Heat Transmission from a Clark Y Airfoil
A 1933 NASA technical report, issued through the NASA Technical Reports Server, on keeping aircraft wings clear of ice using engine exhaust heat and measuring heat transfer across a Clark Y airfoil. The pictures are black-and-white photographs of an instrumented wing section with numbered panels, a biplane in a hangar, and wind-tunnel test rigs with a large oval tunnel opening, giving a designer period engineering documentation with plain, functional composition and no decoration.
