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.




By the way, in the jet fighter business, we referred to the speed of
sound (Mach) as the "speed of heat".
