ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for both de-icing and anti-icing an aircraft in one "pass". A pair of units are positioned above and below the aircraft. Each unit has respective nozzles oriented in one direction for dispensing de-icing fluid/air onto the aircraft as it approaches the units. Each unit further has respective nozzles oriented in an opposite direction for dispensing anti-icing fluid/air onto the aircraft as the aircraft moves away from the units. The apparatus is bi-directional so that the aircraft may approach the apparatus from either of two opposite directions. Means are provided for collecting and recycling the run-off of the de-icing and anti-icing fluids, respectively.
