Earlier researchers found that ordinary maple syrup afforded high resistance to ice; but was easily "scrubbed" off by the wind. Working along other lines, experimenters tried heating the wing edge by an extended exhaust pipe. They found ice would form behind the pipe nearly as heavily as along the edge...
