I am wondering if such a device is available for aircraft?????
Hello Bob. The short answer is yes. There are certified engine case heaters one brand is called Easy Heat. They are silicone to the bottom of the case with an electrical plug routed to the top of the engine near the opening of panel. There are other brands as well. Some have even used the auto dipstick heater. Most cold weather areas change the oil in the engine in the winter to W80 or W65, it depends on the level of the temp.
