Suitability of ice for aircraft landings
The thickness of ice required for aircraft landings on skis can be calculated from the following formulas: S_r = (15/4) √W_t; S_ℓ = (27/8) √W_t; S_s = (27/4) √W_t. S_r is the thickness in inches for river ice, S_ℓ for lake ice, and S_s for old sea ice. W_t is the weight of the plane in ton...
