Abstract
The icing indicator for an aircraft, of the type that can be directly and visually read by a pilot, includes means of installation at the surface of the fuselage and projecting therefrom, in combination with an already-existing device positioned above a through-hole in the fuselage, the device being modified to allow a power cable that powers the icing indicator to pass through the fuselage within its fastening. The icing indicator is preferably combined with a rain repellent spray device or on the spindle about which the windscreen wiper rotates.
Claims6
An icing indicator for an aircraft, of the type that can be directly and visually read by a pilot,
- wherein the icing indicator comprises means of installation at the surface of a fuselage and projecting therefrom, in combination with an already-existing device positioned above a through-hole in the fuselage,
- the device being modified to allow a power cable that powers the icing indicator to pass through the fuselage within its fastening.
A device comprising a means of spraying a liquid product of a rain repellent type for a windscreen of an aircraft, of a type fixed to an aeroplane fuselage at a rain flap of the aircraft, substantially facing the windscreen along a longitudinal axis of the aeroplane,
- wherein the device further comprises a visually readable icing indicator icing indicator for an aircraft, of the type that can be directly and visually read by a pilot, the indicator comprising means of installation at the surface of a fuselage and projecting therefrom, in combination with an already-existing device positioned above a through-hole in the fuselage,
- the device being modified to allow a power cable that powers the icing indicator to pass through the fuselage within its fastening.
A device comprising a windscreen wiper for a windscreen of an aircraft, of the type attached to an aeroplane fuselage at the rain flap of the aircraft, substantially facing the windscreen along a longitudinal axis X of the aircraft, further comprising a visually readable icing indicator, wherein the visually readable icing indicator comprises:
- means of installation at the surface of the fuselage and projecting therefrom, in combination with an already-existing device positioned above a through-hole in the fuselage,
- the device being modified to allow a power cable that powers the icing indicator to pass through the fuselage within its fastening.
