ABSTRACT:
A multistate aqueous precipitation removal tool designed to remove light ice, snow, slush, and liquid water from delicate aircraft airfoil surfaces, and to polish frost thereon without harming such surfaces. Materials of appropriate hardness and flexibility over a broad range of temperatures have been located and incorporated into a scraping/polishing/squeegeeing/shoveling tool for use in the aircraft industry for preparing aircraft for take-off after precipitation has occurred. When used for snow removal, the tool head is designed so that the snow being pushed ahead of the tool weights the head thereby forcing the scraping blade in closer contact with the surface operated on. This feature improves the efficiency of the instant invention for snow and ice removal while reducing operator fatigue since little downward pressure need be applied to the tool handle.
