There has been an interesting scene on the apron of Hangzhou International Airport in the past few days: Before takeoff, the staff would make the aircraft take a "hot shower".

The sudden drop in air temperature can easily cause frost and ice crystals on the surface of the aircraft to affect the flight safety, so the staff would use the deicing vehicle to flush the aircraft with hot water for deicing before takeoff, with the deicing time of about 10 minutes.

It is worth mentioning that, this year, Hangzhou International Airport first starts its self-developed mobile terminal system for ice & snow removal, with quick deicing information transmission, more reasonable division of labor, and overall efficiency increased by more than 20%.
