Rapid icing can cause many complications and potential hazards to aircraft. Ice on the wings can disrupt airflow and cause a sudden loss of lift, which could lead to a stall or collision.
Aircraft affected by rapid icing often remain on the ground and are then treated with specialized fluids that melt the ice and frost. But in extreme conditions, even frequent defrosting may not be enough to keep up with rapid ice buildup.
