deicer
- n heater that removes ice or frost (as from a windshield or a refrigerator or the wings of an airplane)
- Soviet jet experts faced a serious problem: despite the use of grain alcohol, an old but effective deicer, the windshields of MIG-25 Foxbat interceptors were icing up.
- Goodrich has developed a "deicer" consisting of a pair of rubber tubes which ordinarily lie flat against the wing.
- Unaware that he had dented the wing and ripped a deicer, he nonchalantly took off for Nova Scotia.
