Some may have questions on the reasons for de-icing an aircraft, how is it done and why? When traveling from a wintery weather the ice, snow, or sleet could be problematic for the aircraft. The aircraft needs to be deiced to initiate take off. Removing and avoiding the build-up of ice is essential because the aircraft is built in a very specific way in which the shape of the aircraft is designed for the airflow to move in a certain direction for an ideal take off. This means the ice/ build-up of snow could potentially alter the shape of the aircraft in a way that the airflow across the surface hinders the ability to create a lift. Which could cause a potential error during take-off.

Aluminum in the Aerospace industry has been a dominant presence for the last half century. In the past ten years, industries outside of Aerospace have also turned to this metal.
