Seems like the turbine in a northern climate would have heated blades, using electricity from the turbine itself.

Besides, the carbon from the chopper will add to global warming, and no de-icing needed in the future. Long term thinking!

The blades are fiber glass. heated blades would cause fire, and add weight and put them out of balance.
I wonder if the blades that fail due to dirt build up. Gets the dirt and grime from River mud scooped up from the deicing process?

Thin wire at the bade surface would cause out of balance? No need to heat high enough to cause a fire, just warm enough to melt ice,or to stop ice from forming.

That thin wire would be heavy by time you cover that whole surface. Look at the blade of that thing. If it were metal, you could make 3 or 4 of those helicopters out just one.

Put a resistor on it, it’ll light up and provide heat!

I was thinking that if the blade were kept moving, it wouldn't ice up in the first place

On the big island in Hawaii, there was a part of the Island which was the windiest place I'd ever been. Beautiful landscape....other than the fact that there was an entire farm of busted wind turbines.

The solution is obviously to develop electric helicopters.

In fact... looking at that picture, if you pivot it 90 degrees, maybe that turbine blade can just fly itself to the ground for de-icing?

Airplane wings ice up while flying, even at low altitude.

I was wondering if the centrifugal force on the windmill blade might fling off any ice before it has a chance to build up. An airplane doesn't have that same thing.

Not the way I used to fly!
