Description / Abstract:
Introduction
Research is now underway in many organizations in Europe, Asia, and North America to better understand the effects of inflight atmospheric icing and to identify ways to better protect aircraft from the icing threat. There have been many periods of icing research during the decades since aircraft first encountered icing conditions, but there have also been some lulls in that activity. These lulls are now a thing of the past as the staffs of research centers, universities, and industry conduct research in response to the requirements of the aircraft industry throughout the world. The goal is to maintain flight safety in all-weather conditions. Proposed changes in the regulations for operation in icing conditions are sure to keep icing research and development at this high level. This is especially true for the effects of ice crystals in the atmosphere, and for the threat associated with supercooled large drop (SLD) icing.
There were fifteen inflight icing presentations during the past four AeroTech Congresses and ten of these presentations were documented in written technical papers. A large number of inflight icing papers were presented at the SAE 2011 International Conference on Aircraft and Engine Icing and Ground Deicing, held in Chicago and organized by SAE International. This conference attracted a large number of papers with parallel sessions required to accommodate the number of quality papers offered. There were 75 inflight icing presentations out of a total of 108 icing presentations. The inflight icing papers included presentations on advances in icing certification, ice protection, the effects of ice crystals in the atmosphere, and the effects of large drop icing (including freezing drizzle and freezing rain). Of the 75 inflight icing presentations, 59 had written papers.
The 69 papers from the recent conferences, 10 in the last four AeroTech meetings, and 59 in the SAE 2011 International Conference on Aircraft and Engine Icing and Ground Deicing, had significant international content, as shown in Table 1.
A number of organizations contributed papers to these recent SAE conferences, with some papers authored by individuals representing more than one organization. Table 2 identifies the organizations contributing more than two papers.
The popular four-year cycle of international icing conferences offered many in the icing field the opportunity to present the results of their icing work conducted during the previous four years.1 The pace of icing research and development has not slowed and AC-9C and others in the icing technical community determined that there is sufficient new work to justify yet another conference.
SAE decided to offer a wider distribution for the best of the papers from recent conferences, with emphasis on those with the greatest interest to the aviation community. The result is a collection of ten papers that best represent subjects of interest to the icing community and other interested parties.
1 There have also been other icing conferences dealing primarily with operational issues for flight in icing conditions.
