A little history about TKS
According to the article I am reading, TKS stands for Tecalemit-Kilfrost-Sheepbridge Stokes(These days it is owned by CAV Ice Protection in England). The Kilfrost name is certainly still familiar to me.
This is the weeping wing de-icing method where millions of micro-holes in the leading edge allow the fluid to slowly flow out creating a coating to prevent ice formation.
What surprised me was that it was invented by these three companies in 1942 and was used on RAF bombers.
Does anybody know which bombers had this system?
