Abstract

Zaleđivanje zrakoplova predstavlja značajan izazov u zrakoplovstvu, jer naslage
leda smanjuju uzgon i stabilnost te ugrožavaju sigurnost letenja. Razvijene su različite
metode i sustavi koji omogućuju sigurno uklanjanje leda s površina zrakoplova,
uključujući primjenu tekućina na bazi glikola, vrućeg zraka, infracrvenih grijača, te
alternativnih tehnologija poput specijaliziranih robota za odleđivanje i zaštitu
zrakoplova od zaleđivanja. S obzirom na sve strože ekološke standarde, zračna
industrija usmjerena je prema održivijim rješenjima, kao što su metode bez glikola i
inovativni sustavi za grijanje površina, koji poboljšavaju sigurnost i smanjuju kemijski
otisak, te recikliranja upotrijebljenih tekućina kako bi se dodatno smanjio negativan
utjecaj na okoliš i očuvala sigurnost i u uvjetima kada nije moguće izbjeći štetne
materijale. Zrakoplovna industrija zajedničkim snagama pokušava pronaći rješenja
koja bi u budućnosti kombinirala visoku učinkovitost, ekološku prihvatljivost i
prilagođavanje međunarodnim standardima.

Abstract (english)

Aircraft de-icing is a significant challenge in aviation, as ice buildup reduces lift and
stability, compromising flight safety. Various methods and systems have been
developed to safely remove ice from aircraft surfaces, including the application of
glycol-based fluids, hot air, infrared heaters, and alternative technologies such as
specialized de-icing robots. Given increasingly strict environmental standards, the
aviation industry is shifting toward more sustainable solutions, such as glycol-free
methods, innovative surface heating systems that enhance safety while reducing
chemical impact, and fluid recycling to further minimize environmental harm and
maintain safety when harmful substances cannot be entirely avoided. The aviation
industry is working collectively to find solutions that, in the future, will combine high
efficiency, environmental sustainability, and compliance with international standards.
