Icing

Types

Rime Ice

Rime ice forms on the leading edges of the wings from -10°C to -20°C.

Clear Ice

Clear ice is formed in dense cloud or freezing rain from 0°C to -10°C. It is spread unevenly due to the droplet spreading out before it freezes. The wing shape becomes altered, decreasing lift and increasing drag from 300% to 500%.
