What is the largest block of ice that can form on a plane?



And where on the airframe does it form? A block of ice of the
magnitude shown on TV would not improve the flying qualities of a wing
... I assume that any such block could not be formed except near some
outlet on the fuselage or at a junction between the fuselage and a
flying surface.


Yes, well I always wondered whether these meteors should be on the
meteorology newsgroup. Maybe pilots would know know more about it.

Are there any condensation outlets on planes which form 5kg icicles near
them? Maybe some formation flyers would have seen them. When do they drop
off?
