Ice will sometimes form on an aeroplane, especially on the wings. As a plane flies higher the air around it becomes cooler and can go below the melting point of ice - zero degrees centigrade or 32degrees Fahrentheit. Another factor is the humidity of the air - how much water vapour it contains. Higher humidity would help the formation of ice.

What keeps the plane in the air?
wings and speed are the main sources that keeps planes in the air! you can find out more by google it
Does the temperature of air high above the ground often above or below 0C?
Where air planes fly, the temperature is below freezing.
What keeps the temperature from dropping below freezing in India?
TALL MOUNTAINS BLOCK THE COLD AIR
What keeps the temperature in southern India from going below freezing?
The Tall Mountains Block The Cold Air
Can airplane be static in air?
Theoretically, yes. The force in which balances gravity and keeps the plane in air is produced by the relative speed between the air and the plane's wings. When the air is still, the plane has to move (fast!), relative to the air. If the planes is to be static, then the air has to move: really fast. However, winds of such strengths are rather unlikely concerning passanger jets and large planes. For small (model planes, etc), it is hightly possible.
What is reached when the downward pull of gravity is equal to the upward push of air resistance?
The object would stop falling. This is what allows things to float, and what keeps planes in the air.
Can you return a contract phone if it keeps freezing?
no
What are the sun effects on earth?
It keeps the earth from freezing.
Do planes stop in the air?
Some planes do like a harier it could stop in the air
What does antifreeze do to the car in the winter?
Antifreeze keeps your coolant from freezing. It keeps your coolant more "fluid".
What keeps planes in the air if gravity pulls us down?
A plane is designed so that when it moves forward the air moving across its wings creates an upward force called lift, which counteracts the force of gravity.
What does snap freezing do?
Because it keeps the enzymes and bacterias out of the food
