Icing susceptibility question ??
Heyyy all,
I got a question that I couldn't answer :-

*) Why are Props and T-Tails more susceptible to icing ?

I would assume that the question refers to thinner airfoil cross sections which are more susceptible to icing; search for fineness ratio.
The T tail is not so obvious, perhaps the question was seeking a relationship with the possibility of a tail stall in icing.
Have a look through the NASA Icing Guide.

What do you mean by "prop" a type of aircraft or the engine?
What do you mean by suceptibility, the ability to accrete ice or the tolerance after having accreted the ice?
Your question pre supposes a condition of suceptibility yet provides no explanation to support the question.
