Research on aircraft flight safety has especially focused on wing icing because it has significant and fatal consequences. When the wing is iced, the aerodynamic shape of the wing changes, and this change leads to a reduction in lift force and an increase in landing force, which can lead to an accident. Therefore, the study of the anti-icing system of aircraft is an important issue to be considered in the research and improvement of aircraft design. In our study, the causes of icing on aircraft wings (unmanned or manned), the types of icing, and the advantages and disadvantages of anti-icing methods are explained in detail.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Hava Araçları Kanatlarında Oluşan Buzlanmayı Önleme ve Buz-çözme Yöntemleri

Öz

Günümüzde uçak buzlanması üzerine yapılan araştırmalar, önemli ve ölümcül kötü sonuçlarına sebeb olması nedeniyle, kanatlarda oluşan buzlanma üzerine yoğunlaşmaktadır. Kanat buzlandığında, kanat aerodinamik özelliklerinde değişim oluşmakta ve bu değişim kazaya sebebiyet verebilecek şekilde, kaldırma kuvvetlerinde azalma ve iniş durumunda artışa neden olmaktadır. Bu nedenle, uçakta buz önleme sisteminin araştırılması uçak dizaynı araştırma ve iyileştirme konularında düşünülmesi gereken önemli bir konudur. Çalışmamızda insanlı yada insansız hava araçlarında oluşan buzlanma nedenleri ve buz önleme yöntemlerinin çeşitleri, uygulama avantaj ve dezavantajları bakımından ayrıntılı anlatılmaktadır.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Buzlanma önleme, buzlanma çözme, uçak aerodinamiği, kanat aerodinamiği, uçuş emniyeti.
