Somewhere, sometime ago I saw this neat idea where all planes
about to take off went through a tunnel about one hundred
feet in length. The inside of this tunnel had tons of infra-red
heating elements, ( sort of like a gigantic pizza oven ) and
de-iced the plane at just the appropriate time, ( instead of
every fifteen minutes at the terminal ).
