ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for deicing an aircraft is defined by an insulated shelter being a size capable of enclosing an aircraft. The shelter is positioned on a deicing surface that absorbs heat from means such as electrical filaments or heated pipes within the deicing surface or through the application of infrared radiation onto the deicing surface. In turn, the deicing surface radiates heat into the air within the shelter. Once an aircraft is enclosed within the shelter, infrared radiation is applied to a portion of the exterior surface of the aircraft. The combination of the infrared radiation and the heat radiating from the deicing surface rapidly deices and substantially dries the exterior surface of the aircraft. The exterior of the aircraft is subsequently heated to a sufficiently high temperature that ice will not reform on the aircraft prior to take off.
