Abstract
A deicer (10) for a radome (12) includes an active portion (16) through which transmission occurs and a non-active portion (18) which is attached to an aircraft (14). The deicer (10) comprises a cap portion (20) covering the active portion (16) of the radome (12) but unattached thereto. The cap portion (20) comprises layers (36, 38) defining inflatable/deflatable chambers (24), the layers both being made of non-extensible material such as square woven nylon fabric. When the chambers (24) are inflated, the inner layer (38) lifts off of the active portion (16) of the radome (12). The deicer (10) can additionally comprise a skirt portion (22) which is stretchable to accommodate the inflation of the chambers (24).
