How fast does the skin of the airplane cool to surrounding temperatures?
A question for those of you more adept at chemistry/physics than I: How
fast does the aluminum skin of the standard single engine GA aircraft take to cool to surrounding air temperatures? For example, how long would it take for the skin to cool from a heated hangar at 65 degrees F to outside air at 20 degrees F? This is my first winter where my airplane sits at my destination airport (Buffalo, NY) all week in a heated hangar. The problem I just inherited is that if I desire to depart during a lake effect snowfall event, falling snow could melt on the wings and fuselage and then turn to ice. -- Peter |
