Rotors de-icing power question
While reading Mil Mi-8 tech docs I surprisingly saw that its TR de-icing system consumes way more electric power than MR one. To be exact it is 38 kW for a TR and only 26 kW for a MR. What could be the reason(s) that to de-ice times smaller surfaces needs much more power?
