Technology
Aero Ice Free (AIF) has developed a unique mechanical deicing technology (Patented in Israel and in the USA) which enables steady and continuous flight in icing conditions, without any changes in flight performance. The technology provides significant advantages to the General Aviation and UAS deicing such as: low weight, low power consumption, low cost, easy to maintain system and ecofriendly solution.

The final product of AIF is a state-of-the-art composite material leading edge with integrated deicing capabilities. 
With a strong combination of elegant solutions, breakthrough design and experienced management, AIF aims to become a leading player in the GA and UAS deicing world.

 De-Icing System Main Units: 
  • De-Icing Main Controller (DIMC)
  • De Icing Area Convertor (DIAC)
  • De Icing Local Control Tray (DLCT)
  • Integral Leading Edge (ILE), comprised actuators mounted on skin composite structure
