“…[1][2][3][4]. Especially in aviation applications, the formed and accumulated ice on airplanes greatly damages aerodynamic properties [5][6][7]. It has been shown that mm-thick ice on airfoils will result in about 30% loss of lift force per unit area, eventually causing catastrophic accidents [8,9].…”

Fabricating and developing superhydrophobic anti-icing surfaces have been a research hotspot for eliminating undesired icing issues. Among various fabricating strategies, ultrafast laser micro-nano fabrication is regarded as a greatly promising technique owing to its advantages of high geometric accuracy, highly flexible microstructure or dimension availability, no contact, and no material limitation. A number of diverse micro-nanostructured superhydrophobic surfaces have been developed by ultrafast lasers and demonstrated extraordinary anti-icing properties. They are collectively known as ultrafast laser-fabricated superhydrophobic anti-icing surfaces (ULSASs). In this article, we reviewed the recent advances in ULSASs from micro-nano structure fabricating to anti-icing performances and to potential applications. The surface wettability and mechanisms of ultrafast laser micro-nano fabrication are first introduced, showing the strong ability of ultrafast laser for fabricating superhydrophobic surfaces. Then the deepened understanding of the relationship between superhydrophobicity and icephobicity is discussed in detail, including Cassie–Baxter stability, surface durability and environmental adaptability. Eventually, the passive anti-icing technique, the passive/active combined anti-icing technique and their practical applications are presented together with current challenges and future prospects.

“…The most promising of these passive technologies applies an icephobic coating − onto aircraft surfaces, offering a sustainable solution of low cost, minimal energy consumption, and negligible environmental impact. Icephobic coatings can delay ice formation, reduce ice adhesion, and limit ice accumulation. − These models are often combined to achieve the highest icephobicity possible . As aircraft surfaces often experience extreme environmental conditions, icephobic coatings require added mechanical durability against sand, rain, and UV and thermal exposure for use in the aerosapce industry.…”

“…In the last fifteen years, research has been increasingly directed toward icephobic coatings [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Typically, these coatings are meant to be integrated with the above-mentioned strategies [14], introducing at least one of the following functionalities: high water repellence, i.e.…”
