Cox & Company designs and manufactures Ice Protection Products and Systems including:

• Electro-Thermal Anti-Icing & Deicing Systems for both Composite and Metalwork structural applications
• All new Low Power Deicing Systems
• All new Hybrid Electro-Thermal & Low Power Deicing Systems

Electro-Thermal Ice Protection Systems

Custom Structural Designs — Conform to aircraft manufacturers' CATIA or other electronic database, loft lines or installation data, including unusual shapes, sizes and double curvature surfaces. Custom Construction Materials — Reliable, light-weight, fiberglass epoxy heated structures for modest temperature applications (up to 350°F) and Cox proprietary elastomeric metal/hybrids where service temperatures exceed 350°F. Custom Thermal Designs — Developed using Cox proprietary and NASA Icing Codes and validated with the Cox Thermal Test Management Systems (TTMS) and the LeClerc Icing Research Laboratory (LIRL).

Applications: Fixed and Rotary Wing Engine Inlets Fairings Lifting Surfaces Aircraft Structures

Cox designed and produced the first heater used in electrically heated composite aircraft structures with ice-protection capability.

Custom Designed Heating Circuit Layouts — Tailored watts densities to match icing or snow loads in specific heated zones to minimize total power consumption.

Electronic System Controllers — Proportional power control with fault detection, reporting and diagnostic test capabilities in ruggedized packages to meet harsh environments in engine nacelles and on exposed fairing surfaces.
