HC Deb 18 December 1935 vol 307 cc1740-1
57. Mr. GARRO-JONES

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he will indicate generally what progress is being made with the researches into the causes and prevention of ice formation on wing-surfaces?

Sir P. SASSOON

The conditions which govern the formation of ice on wingsurfaces are now well understood. A chemical method for preventing it has been evolved at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, and is now being developed. Some mechanical devices for dislodging ice are on the market.
