Ice formation on propeller blades or aircraft wings can cause major problems. It can limit flight time, increase costs and pose safety and environmental risks. That is why researchers at SINTEF have ...

Icing can be a hazard for aircraft that fly in ubiquitous water or mixed phase clouds at temperatures below \(0^{\circ }\) C 1,2. There is evidence that about 10% of all fatal air carrier accidents ...

The de-icing robot will replace the manual and time consuming process of aircraft de-icing. Credit: Illustration by MSG Aviation Robots will soon make their debut in aircraft de-icing and exterior ...

The myth "speed saves" in icing is debunked because while higher speed helps wings fly, it can lead to uncontrollable descents and critically impaired forward visibility, making safe landings ...

Aircraft icing deteriorates aerodynamic performance and reduces stall angle of attack, the fast convergence rate of tracking error is required to stabilize the ...

On hand to sign the renewal agreement Thursday at the NRC offices in Ottawa, Ontario, were Jaiwon Shin, associate administrator of NASA’s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate in Washington, and ...

While investigators have yet to draw any conclusions about the Bombardier Challenger 600 crash in Bangor, the type – and its derivatives – have previously been the subject of scrutiny owing to the ...

In-flight icing presents a serious threat, affecting not only aircraft aerodynamics but also critical systems like engine induction, especially for aircraft not certified for flight in known icing ...

If you look outside during winter days, you might see snow piled up on the ground, buildings, and cars. This white powdery precipitation usually easily moves around — after all, you just need a shovel ...

Credit: NASA I wrote on the topic of ice-contaminated tailplane stall a while back and apparently did not understand the problem. It is now years later and I still feel the same as I did then. I ...
