Don't you eventually have to slow down? )

I don't know the formula but Saberliners are too slow to offer reliable
deicing from speed alone although, like anything else, they change temp with
velocity. I recall reading that you need 400kt indicated for complete
protection.

Is there a rule of thumb for 'speed of heat'? Meaning the speed in
knots where ice will not form on the leading edges of a wing. For
example, the Saberliner had no de-ice or anti-ice system, just speeding
up would remove or prevent ice build up.
Thanks.
