Carbon heating elements would be trivial and very lightweight. The impact would be minimal if properly done, and that could be as simple as a surface coating on the inside hooked to some electrical conductor. Now, you WOULD need to use something more exotic like mesophase carbon pitch instead of regular graphene, but it is easier than graphene to produce.
A good phosphorous/magnesium flare is well visible even in some of the worst wind and snow conditions. They're used in climbing Everest. And again, we have instruments for that sort of landing.
Also, you would typically land via seaplane and taxi in. You don't use a land runway in such an area except for MASSIVE cargo planes.
And this is a logistical/engineering situation. Your pilot license doesn't take this kind of thing into account.
Oh, and as for the lithium, I've used regular bike grease that did just fine in -38, -45 with Lubrizol, up in Canada. Lithium grease with Lubrizol would likely perform to --70 no problem.
"You also completely ignored the aerodynamic issue with coils on the wings and the lack of runway."
I can tell you've never flown a plane, let alone performed a pre-flight check.
The coils would be on the INSIDES.
Also, the lithium grease used for lubrication can take MUCH colder temps than what Antarctica can produce.
Also, flares tend to BURN anything, given they're classified as Class-D fires (metal fires.) Covering them isn't easy without a blizzard blowing directly into your face. Blowing them away? Most flares have a securing tack strip for placement in windy locations.
BTW I'm 10 solo hours away from obtaining my private pilot license.
Buried flares will just burn and vaporize any ice and water, flares work underwater once ignition occurs, you know. They're class-d fires, water won't extinguish them.
You'll need much more heat than something kept at -10 to make any ignition for a fuel tank possible.
Also - Chicago O'Hare and many other far north/far south airports have had no issues with planes landing in pretty shit weather. We have these magical things called RADAR/LIDAR/SONAR. Getting stranded is not so much of an issue as it might have been back in the 1920s.
Did you even bother to think your questions through?
Green and Red Flares for a temporary runway, heating coils around the tanks to keep temps around -10.
Simple, easy, cheap. Get to it, Raytheon. If your best couldn't think of this solution in less than 5 minutes, quit sending people there, as you are obviously NOT prepared to be responsible.
"the field would have to be strong enough to yank the change out of your pocket as soon as you walked into the room."
As I will point out, whomever said that obviously has zero clue that today's currency in the USA is hardly magnetic. Even nickels aren't really made of much nickel.
Tact is passive-aggressiveness for people too scared to speak directly and clearly. Tact is the tool of the weak and dishonest.
Oh and my field, zero-light horticulture - growing, breeding, and cultivating plants WITH ZERO LIGHT. Something you're not even educated enough to comprehend, same with the majority of other scientists out there that said it couldn't be done. I created the field. Most biologists are scratching their heads going "How the fuck did he do that?"
Protip: Half of your 'science' is dead wrong.
Oh, and I'll be an asshole to whom I please. It's not like you have any power to shut me up. I've been dead, twice, and I know what's on the other side. Be an asshole to someone that has the potential to control where your next meal comes from. I dare you.

Quit relying upon wikipedia. People going by that have quite often been getting pregnant, over at the porn shop. QUITE OFTEN, to the point where about 1/10th of the customer base is asking about abortions and saying "I tried reading wikipedia and timing it like that, boy it's wrong."
Wikipedia is truly a shit source for information.
My mother says it's full of shit as well - I was conceived during her menstrual cycle, according to doctors at Plano General East.

In the end they all look like mascot suits. Very few body-tight ones, heads are always too big, eyes too large and creepy and pretty much dead.
Yea, let's just not even go there.
What's sad is your ignorance of the harm VeriSign has caused the internet in general.

Hello, Blue boxes.
You are willing to praise a thief? You're a fucking fool.
Easily, considering most HDDs while 'shielded' have a heat venting hole that EMF can leak through.

"A competent and reputable manufacturer would have replaced the drive.
On the first visit."
Glad you don't work for me, you're not competent.
A competent tech for any manufacturer would MAKE SURE THE SUSPECTED FAILING PART IS FAILING FIRST. If not, identify what is causing the actual MoF.
Christ, that's troubleshooting 101. Just replacing parts ala "shotgun method" it is just wasteful.
Speaking from former experience as a repair tech, and as a systems builder.
Wrong point? Ever opened up a platter HDD? Lots of strong magnets in there.

Not having a dedicated program-launching keypad.
How quaint.
"I thought it was just an AC being stupid (which has been my experience with ACs of late)"
I would be more than willing to bet it's just you, and that you're too young to even understand half of what's said here.
You do know the moon reflects UV radiation from the sun, yes?
No, they're called 'black' lights because of the Wood's Glass used in the construction of the glass envelope.
It's not OpenWRT code that's stolen, it's the modules made by other people that have been stolen and integrated without their knowledge.
Can we stop answering it, already? Wanna degauss your shit? It's as simple as finding a pair of Oster heavy-duty hair clippers.
Sticky this answer for all time and quit letting this fucking question get submitted every few months.
I'll never be in that situation. I control the future of the food supply with my new zero-light horticulture tech. Fuck with me, starve to death.
Even Monsanto poses ZERO threat to me, now.

Quite shameful stealing, in fact. DD-WRT writer claims a lot of work as his when it's not.
There are also major GPL violations.
DD-WRT is STOLEN source.
Just fyi.
Zynga doesn't produce games. Did not not pay attention to what one of the big Zynga guys said? Copy, Copy, Copy, until it makes you money.
