(This article belongs to the Special Issue Deicing and Anti-Icing of Aircraft)
In-flight icing for aircrafts is a large concern for all those involved in aircraft operations. This Special Issue assembles a diverse selection of research papers on topics related to the deicing and anti-icing of aircrafts. These topics span experimental, numerical, and data science studies from droplet scale [1,2] to the system level [3,4,5,6], as summarized in Table 1. The editor is pleased to assemble 11 articles in this Special Issue. The readers will enjoy this variety of high-quality research on the deicing and anti-icing of aircrafts.
