Rancang Bangun Simulator De Icing System Pada Sayap Pesawat Di Hanggar Poltekbang Makassar

Abstract

Aircraft are a means of transportation with high safety standards, so aircraft are always experiencing technological developments. For every 1000 feet elevation gain, there will be a 2°C withdrawal in the temperature of the atmosphere, so the aircraft must have the technology to prevent ice formation at that altitude. The De Icing System is a system on an aircraft that functions to break ice that has formed on certain parts of the aircraft. This system is one of the systems of the Ice and Rain Protection System used in aircraft.

The purpose of this research is to produce a De Icing System simulator product that is used as a learning medium for the Aircraft Mechanical System. The research method used is research and development in developing research by testing the effectiveness of the tool. The design of the De Icing System simulator on an aircraft wing is used to provide a real simulation of the working system of the De Icing System on an aircraft. The use of the compressor as the main source that circulates air into the rubber boot to inflate the rubber boot.

The research results show that the components in the De Icing System simulator can work according to their function and are able to simulate the workings of the Pneumatic De Icing System starting from the process of making ice on aircraft wings to illustrations of ice on my plane breaking due to expanding rubber boots.
