Any content on icing conditions, ice forming, ice-proofing, and de-icing welcome.
In aviation, icing conditions are those atmospheric conditions that can lead to the formation of water ice on the surfaces of an aircraft, or within the engine as carburetor icing. Inlet icing is another engine-related danger, often occurring in jet aircraft. These icing phenomena do not necessarily occur together. Many aircraft, especially general aviation aircraft, are not certified for flight into known icing—icing conditions certain or likely to exist, based on pilot reports, observations, an...

As long known to classic kite hobbyists, flexing kite fabric tends to passively shed ice as it forms, much as rubber boots in the wing LE actively deice rigid aircraft wings. Icing is a relatively rare concern as it only forms in narrow conditions of dew-point at 0C, at times and altitudes that can usually be avoided.
