All main levels of aircraft icing have been addressed and flight demonstrated by the SENS4ICE project (with funding from the European Commission): atmospheric conditions, ice accretion and effects on aircraft performance. Upcoming research, development and certification will build on these results - for future conventional and unconventional aircraft! #sens4ice #inflighticing #AviationSafety

Aircraft Ice Protection Systems are well established to ensure safe aviation. Today this is of increasing interest for research, development and certification to operate ice protection smartly and with minimized energy consumption to reduce emissions. SKYlight - "Safety Intelligence as a Service" is featuring this SKYbrary article: https://lnkd.in/e5r8Bh-a Not only atmospheric conditions and the amount of ice accretion on aircraft are of high importance, but in addition very critical is the "understanding (...) of what effects the ice accretions will have on aircraft performance"! #inflighticing #AviationSafety SKYbrary partners: EUROCONTROL, International Civil Aviation Organization, Flight Safety Foundation
