Abstract
A system for de-icing aircraft in a de-icing area includes a first recessed storage area located substantially below ground level on a first side of the de-icing area. A first spraying boom, having at least one boom section, is used to apply de-icing solution to surfaces of aircraft. A first spray nozzle, for applying de-icing solution to surfaces of aircraft, is supported by the first spraying boom. The first spraying boom may be raised out of the first recessed storage area when an aircraft needs de-icing and lowered into the first recessed storage area for storage when aircraft de-icing is complete.
