| 摘要： | United States Air Force installations are seeking alternatives to deicing fluids used on aircraft. The current propylene glycol-based fluids used creates a significant environmental compliance and pollution prevention issue for the Air Force installations. The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has identified METSS ADF-2 as a potential aircraft deicing fluid to replace propylene glycol (PG) based fluids. This fluid has been tested and certified in accordance with aerospace material specification (AMS) 1424D, Deicing/Anti-icing Fluid, Aircraft SAE Type I. The objective of this demonstration is to test the performance of METSS ADF-2 in the field on Air Force aircraft, specifically a KC-135R at the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station (NFARS). Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC) was tasked, as an independent evaluator, to demonstrate METSS ADF-2. The specific objectives of this demonstration were to: 1) illustrate the effectiveness of METSS ADF-2 as an operationally suitable deicing fluid; 2) compare the deicing properties of METSS ADF-2 directly against the currently used PG-based deicing fluids in an operational environment; and 3) determine the post-flight migration characteristics of METSS ADF-2 following successful operational use of the fluid. |
