Book Description
Ice formation on aircraft can disrupt the smooth flow of air over the wings and prevent the aircraft from taking off or decrease the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft. Despite a variety of technologies designed to prevent ice from forming on planes, as well as persistent efforts by the FAA to mitigate icing risks, icing remains a serious concern. This statement provides info. on: (1) the extent to which large commercial airplanes have experienced accidents and incidents related to icing and contaminated runways; (2) the efforts of FAA to improve safety in icing and winter weather operating conditions; and (3) the challenges that continue to affect aviation safety in icing and winter weather operating conditions. Charts and tables.

Book Description
A series of passes on 6 December 1979 through multilayered-supercooled stratiform and stratocumulus clouds by the Air Force Geophysics Laboratory's instrumented C-130E cloud physics research aircraft is used to evaluate a Rosemount Ice Detector. The response of the detector to icing conditions is compared with measurements from a J-W liquid water content meter and the Knollenberg Axial Scattering Spectrometer Probe (ASSP). A procedure to adjust for zero drift of the J-W instrument is developed. Comparison of liquid water measurements from the J-W and from the ASSP indicate that these data are highly correlated and similar in magnitude. A procedure for extracting useful information from the Rosemount Ice detector has been developed. The icing conditions in the cloud systems studied are typical of the range of conditions in winter stratiform clouds. Liquid water (LWC) values of 0.3 g/cu m and median volume diameters of 15 micrometers were most frequently observed. The results of the analysis show that the Rosemount Ice Detector is a sensitive indicator of the fluctuations of liquid water in clouds with LWC not exceeding 0.8 g/cu m -3.

Book Description
Data on the meteorological parameters pertinent to the aircraft icing problem are so summarized as to give the frequency of occurrence of observed icing situations according to two of the parameters. The summarized data indicate that statistical relations exist between some of the parameters. A method, based upon the collection efficiency of an airfoil and the frequency occurrence of icing situations with various liquid-water contents and mean-effective droplet sizes, is proposed for the selection of design criterions for ice-protection equipment. The method provides a convenient means of calculating the percenteage of icing encounters in which the water collection exceeds the design rate.

Book Description
Icing of unprotected aircraft components is a major problem engineers are faced with during the development phase of an aircraft programme. Ice accretions as well as their shape have to be predicted in order to investigate their effect on aerodynamic flight safety and performance and to decide on the need for anti-or de-icing systems. The Fluid Dynamics Panel of AGARD sponsored a round-table discussion on the subject of Aircraft Icing, on 30 September 1977, in Ottawa, Canada, in conjunction with an FDP Symposium on Unsteady Aerodynamics. The seven papers presented, covering a broad spectrum of topics, are presented in this Advisory Report. (Author).
