how is boeing 747 deiced on ground?
out of curiosity, I would like to know how is Boeing 747 deiced on ground in very cold places?
|
The same way an A320 is?

Wash her down like a cow. Don't spray the eyes.

try not to spray in any of the orifices either! |
With lots of deice fluid.

nice picture.. no wonder, a picture speaks a thousand words!
Suppose wings are ice-free, you taxied out for take-off. there is a long queue for takeoff. now there is frost on the wings. is there a provision to provide deicing service on the taxiways with engines running? or the aircraft has to come back to the bay? |
The de-icing fluid has what is call a 'holdover time' which means that it will continue to keep the aircraft frost free for a period of time, on the ground this can stretch to hours.
In the air I believe there are systems using engine bleed air and electronics to help keep the aircraft frost and ice free. |

Do you know some airport where deicing service is available to the airplanes in takeoff queue on taxiways?
|
Not exactly in the queue but DFW and PIT both deice on pads at the departure end of the runway.
