A joint University-Industry project has been sponsored by NASA Lewis Research Center to develop the Electro-Impulse method for de-icing aircraft. The program has consisted of basic analyses, laboratory testing, icing tunnel tests, and flight tests. During the past two years, the EIDI system has been tested and refined, and has been shown to be a low-energy, highly reliable de-icing system for a wide range of conditions. This paper gives a brief review of conditions. This paper gives a brief review of the basic principles, the development history, and results of recent flight tests by NASA and by Cessna Aircraft Company.
