Fill in the blanks:

A wing with a ____ camber is likely to accumulate more ice than a wing with a ____ camber and will accumulate it at a ____ rate.

  • A
    Thin, thick, greater.
  • B
    Thick, thin, greater.
  • C
    Thin, thick, slower.
  • D
    Thick, thin, slower.

Refer to figure.
Wings that are thin or have sharp leading edges are more efficient ice collectors. For this reason, smaller, thin airfoils may accrete more ice faster than larger, thick airfoils.

  • Tail-plane, undercarriage struts and antenna have relatively narrow cross-sections so will accumulate ice more rapidly.
