Headquartered in San Diego, CA, TDG Aerospace was founded in 1990 with the mission of providing the most advanced and cost effective safety solutions to the commercial aviation industry. Today, TDG’s products are recognized by airline executives, engineers, pilots, maintenance crews and industry analysts for their superior technology, ease of installation and rapid return on investment. Market Specialization TDG Aerospace is focused on helping major air carriers prevent problems associated with fire and ice on their aircraft. By utilizing proven technology, TDG products are designed to ensure a safer and more cost efficient aircraft, which ultimately allows air carriers to save money through greater fuel-efficiency, lowered maintenance costs and faster turn times on the ground. The NOFOD™ & WarmWing™ Clear Ice Prevention Systems TDG's Clear Ice Prevention Systems are designed to prevent the formation of non-environmental, cold soaked wing ice. During prolonged flights at cruising altitudes, fuel in the wing tanks becomes super-cooled and begins to chill the upper surfaces of the wing. Upon landing at airports in moisture rich climates with ambient temperature above freezing, the moisture will freeze on the wing surfaces and form a thin layer of nearly invisible ice.
TDG’s NOFOD™ and WarmWing™ products
prevent the formation of clear ice by providing a continuous source of
heat to the upper surfaces of the wing while the aircraft is on the ground.
The system consists of two over wing heater blankets that the pilot activates
upon landing. NOFOD is designed for use on rear engine aircraft, while
the WarmWing is currently being developed for aircraft with thin profile
wing designs, such as the 737 NG.
FAA Compliance The NOFOD system serves as the primary means of compliance with FAA's Air Worthiness Directive # AD-2002-21-06 (STC SA6042NM). The system has been installed on the entire MD-80 fleets of American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, TWA, Delta, Aeromexico and Midwest Express. Universal Fault Interrupter (UFI 3000)
