Abstract
Safe flight operations in cold weather depend on effective ice removal from aircraft wings. This paper reviews inflatable and deflatable rubber boot systems as a mechanical de-icing method. It summarizes key findings from the literature regarding mechanisms, benefits, limitations, and technological advances. The review also highlights seminal studies and outlines avenues for future research.
