Recently, researches on aircraft icing has focused on wing icing, as it has significant and fatal consequences. When the wing is iced, the aerodynamic shape of the wing changes, and this change leads to a reduction in lift and an increase in landing, which can lead to an accident. Therefore, the study of the anti-icing system of aircraft is an important issue to be considered in the research and improvement of aircraft design. In our study, the reasons for the icing of aircraft (unmanned or manned), the types of icing, and the advantages and disadvantages of anti-icing methods are explained in detail.
