Abstract
Operating principles of the pneumatic deicer and rubber's self-shedding characteristics are applied to the rotor blade. The deicer system operation is discussed. Design criteria for the deicer on a composite blade cover chordwise/spanwise coverage considerations, air connection location, and airfoil profile retention. Also discussed is a method for determining the extent of deicing tube coverage and the limit of self-shedding material at the outboard end of the blade. The use of smaller tubes to reduce deicer inflation drag is also discussed
