Why Choose Ice Shield De-Icing Systems from Airpart Supply?

Faster Installation & Deployment

Ice Shield's innovative Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) technology revolutionizes de-ice boot installation with the Peel.Stick.Fly process, enabling rapid installation and immediate flight capability after completion. Simple installations available for over 75 aircraft models means reduced downtime and faster return to service. Standard boots ship within 48 hours, while PSA boots guarantee delivery within 72 hours, ensuring minimal aircraft grounding time. Ice Shield's extensive aircraft coverage spanning 85% of general aviation aircraft operating today provides reliable parts availability when you need it most.

Better Performance & Durability

Ice Shield products are interchangeable part-for-part with original equipment from manufacturers like Goodrich and Aerazur, eliminating the need to replace entire sets and reducing maintenance costs significantly. Revolutionary EdgeGuard technology is laboratory-proven to increase service life up to 60% longer than leading competitors, providing exceptional return on investment. All products undergo rigorous testing in extreme conditions using state-of-the-art equipment including wind tunnel testing and LEWICE analysis software, ensuring reliable performance in the harshest winter weather conditions. Ice Shield's rubber polymers are specifically engineered for general aviation durability requirements.

Smarter System Design & Operation

Ice Shield's pneumatic wing boots provide quick and safe ice removal with optimized cycling intervals of approximately 6 seconds inflation and 54 seconds deflation, maximizing ice-shedding effectiveness while minimizing system stress. Electro-thermal propeller boots operate on intelligent 90-second on, 90-second off heating cycles, preventing ice formation before it becomes problematic while managing electrical power consumption efficiently. The no warm-up period required for STC de-ice kits means immediate ice protection activation when entering icing conditions. Pilot-controlled activation systems put ice protection management directly in the hands of flight crews, enabling responsive adaptation to changing weather conditions.

FAA PMA Certification & Compliance

All Ice Shield products carry FAA Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) certification, ensuring compliance with stringent aviation safety and quality standards. Ice Shield's engineering team utilizes FAA-approved design methodologies including Design-X software and comprehensive testing protocols. Products meet or exceed all applicable SAE International standards for aircraft de-icing equipment performance and reliability. Ice Shield's commitment to regulatory compliance provides aviation operators with confidence that all installed equipment meets airframe certification requirements and maintains aircraft airworthiness.

Comprehensive Warranty Coverage

Ice Shield backs all pneumatic de-icers with an industry-leading warranty: free from material and workmanship defects for 24 months or 3,000 flight hours, whichever occurs first. Propeller de-icers include comprehensive coverage for 18 months or 2,000 flight hours from date of sale to end user. All hardware components receive a two-year no-hassle warranty, demonstrating Ice Shield's confidence in product quality and durability. This generous warranty coverage provides aviation operators with peace of mind and protection against unexpected replacement costs, reducing total cost of ownership significantly compared to competing products.

Extensive Aircraft Compatibility

Ice Shield products support an impressive range of aircraft including Cessna 208 Caravan, Piper PA-31 Navajo and Chieftain, PA-28 Saratoga, Beechcraft King Air (all variants), Beechcraft 1900, Beechcraft Bonanza, Pilatus PC-12, Citation 550, Saab 340B, and Daher-Socata TBM series aircraft. Interchangeable compatibility with all major General, Commuter, and Business Aviation aircraft means Ice Shield products integrate seamlessly with existing systems. This extensive aircraft coverage spanning over 75 aircraft models representing 85% of general aviation aircraft operating today ensures that most operators can find appropriate ice protection solutions within the Ice Shield product line.

Advanced Engineering & Testing

Ice Shield's engineering team leverages over 20 years of specialized experience in aircraft ice protection system design and development. The company maintains access to state-of-the-art technology and equipment including wind tunnel testing facilities for aerodynamic validation, LEWICE analysis software for computational ice accretion modeling, and Design-X software for precision engineering. A comprehensive research and development laboratory equipped with high-quality de-ice testing equipment enables rigorous validation of all products under simulated extreme conditions. This commitment to engineering excellence and thorough testing ensures Ice Shield products deliver reliable performance in real-world aviation operations.

Safety & Critical Ice Protection

Ice accumulation on aircraft surfaces represents one of the most serious threats to aviation safety, altering airflow over wing curvatures and dramatically reducing lift force, potentially causing aircraft stall and loss of control. Ice Shield's wing de-ice boots provide critical leading edge protection that maintains proper aerodynamic characteristics during flight through icing conditions. Propeller ice protection is equally vital, as ice accumulation creates dangerous aerodynamic imbalances and weight issues that can lead to control difficulties, while shed ice chunks pose catastrophic engine damage risks. Ice Shield's comprehensive system approach addresses all critical ice accumulation points including wings, propellers, and engine inlets, providing complete protection for safe flight operations. All products are designed as essential safety equipment for aircraft operating in potential icing conditions.
