Which outcome rapidly escalates when deicing aircraft with supercooled fluid?

A)Accelerated ice accretion on surfaces
B)Decreased fluid viscosity at altitude
C)Rapid pitot tube pressure fluctuations
D)Loss of wing laminar airflow

💡 Explanation

A supercooled deicing fluid triggers accelerated ice accretion because the phase change releases latent heat of fusion leading to rapid freeze-on effects. Removal of heat facilitates rapid ice crystal formation rather than simple melting; therefore, ice sheets propagate faster.
