Due to high temperatures in the aircraft engine, some of the ice melts and covers the warm engine parts with a thin film of water that traps additional ice crystals. Whereas the super-cooled water chills the engine components such as compressor blades to form ice over it and this results to loss of power and can lead to engine flame out. Related posts:
