ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for chemically deicing aircraft on the taxiway. The apparatus includes a series of nozzles to dispense deicing solution onto the wings of an aircraft, and utilizes photoelectric sensors to detect when the nozzles are appropriately positioned to dispense the deicing solution, thereby conserving deicing solution. Recycling means are provided to collect, purify and concentrate used deicing solution for further use. The apparatus is further provided with extendable telescoping lift cylinders and rotating delivery arms from which the nozzles depend, thereby allowing the device to accommodate aircraft of different dimensions and design.
