SH_kRY A study was conducted to define for the ,NASA Lewis Research Center, both a long term and a short term icing research and tecnnology program which is responsive to the needs and desires of members of the light transport and general aviation industry. Included were assessments of the current state- of-the-art in prediction and test techniques and facilities, as well as the adequacy, of the existing data base and aircraft instrumentation under icing conditions.
In order to facilitate the overall objectives, the program w_s divided into ten separate but related tasks as follows: I. Identif7 ice sensitive components.
2. List existing ice protection systems for components.
3. Assess ice protection system penalties.
4. Assess experimental data base.
5. Assess ice accretion prediction methods.
6. Assess new ice protection methods.
7. Define a reduced ice protection system requirement.
8. Assess _%SA LeRC icing research facilities and recormnend Lmprovements.
9. Scm_uariae results and reco_end research program.
10. Reporting effort.
The stud)" was accomplished utilizing a comprehensive literature search to obtain the current published information and an industrywide survey to solicit highly specific opinions and answers to questions directly related to the program tasks.
In order to ald the inp!ementation of the specific vro_ram tasks and te organize the material obtained from the literature search, a computerized data nanagement file _s used for both the storing and retrieving of information, The biblio_rraphy of references assembled from the literature search, the Lists of ice sensitive components and current methods of ice protection, and tables of codes used for data storage and interro_ation were directly used in the report.
The results of the study programrevealed that the techniqu_ anl
methods developed in the 1940 and 1950's are still being used today through- out the general aviation industry, l]_e major improvement has been in the tree of computer codes (mostly individually company developed) for calcu/ating flow fields about wings and body shapes, droplet trajectories, ice accretion quantities, and subsequent heat transfer characteristics involved with ice protection system design and certification. Further research is required to develop codes beyond the 2-D programs and also codes for ice shedding, ice shapes, accretion with ice buildup, and aircraft penalties.
Ice protection systems currently used are the same conventional systems that have been use_ over the past 20 to 30 Fears, with perhaps some improve- ments in design and utilization. New systems such as icephobics, electro-- impulse, microwave, and acoustic are only in the conceptual and research phases.
A reD" great concern has been shown throughout the general aviation industry for improvements in instrumentation, icing forecasting, qumltita- tire ich_g definitions that can be related to G/A aircraft, standard certification required for all FAA regions, and a reevaluation of the FAR 25 Appendix C envelopes.
.kn assessment of the .NASA (LeRC) icing facilities _ nade including a list of fourteen suggested improvements sumnarized from the industry survey.
From the results of the study, a list of thirty three research items were a.sse.,_bled for laying out a short tern a_.d long term research program.
For purposes of the program, the short tern is three to five years and the long term five to ten years, The starting times and program costs were coordinated with probable facilities refurbishing dates and estimated reasonable budgets. Research and technology areas are ranked in accordance with the ,most needed listed first.
Section II
Section II LNTRODUCT I ON BACKGROUND The .nature of icing problems and advances in technology related to icing and ice protection methods have changed considerably since the 1950's, when the last major thrust in icing research by NACA (now NASA) was terminated.
Although industry has accomplished some work in applied RgD, most of the effort has been direczed to specific designs for certification of large transport aircraft. ._re recently, exparmion in the use of private business and co_uter aircraft has emphasized the ._roblems that restdt from applying the icing requirements of large commercial aircraft to the smaller, light transport segment of the industr/. General aviation told light transport air- craft have operational a_d utilization problems resulting in relatively higher exposure to icing conditiop_s ard greater penalties for ice protection systems. These are due to: (_ the smaller physical d_nension_, which produce r_latively heavier ice _cretions and, thus, aerodyrmmic performarce degradatlon, (2) weight and cost penalties of icing systems relative to their payload and cost baselines, and (3) the perceived inappropriateness of weather forecasting methods, told (4] lack of parti_i/lJJnited tyl_e cer_ifica- ti_,n require._nts to this calss of aircratt.
Current icing problems result from increased air traffic _01'mne, r_re e_ensive w_rld_ide and seasonal operations, proliferation of low-altitude shuttle operations wh_re icing is _re likely for both civil ant industrial use, a_:d an increased threat to general populace from accidents that occur in highly populated areas.
In the meantLme, advances in tech_nolo_, have been extensive in _an/ areas and particularly in electronics and optics with the proliferation of microprocessors, computers, new t_1_es of sensors, radar, laser_, holography, and microwave. A major effort is needed to resolve the icing proble_ns with the aid of these new tec_hnologles. Recognition of these factors has resulted in X_SA reestablishing an icing research function dedicated to both short and long term research progTa_s, hncludin_ _dating of icing tumanel and instr[mentat ion capabilities.
The research problem is not ertirely new, since man)" tec.hnique_ e_m[ved in the 19S0's, refined since that ti_e, and applied primarily to large transports, are accurate. In particular, tDe correlation of ice collection equations, as well as heat ,and mass "ransfer equations over airfoils and windshields, has been quite good. Since these quantities are also required for light transport and general aviation, some cormlonality exists. This commonality lies in the areas of the following.
I.
The same ice sensitive components, such as flight surface leading edges, engine inlets, pitots, etc. The similarity exists in the areas of function, shapes, and certain ice protection methods.
Z.
Icing physics associated with ice accumulation and heat and mass transfer are identical and can be related by common scaling parameters.
3. Operational exposure in those regions of operational space which are cormnon, i.e., during transitional flight and at lower altitudes.
_bst of the differences result fTOm size, performmnce, mission, and payload differences, where the general a._ation and light transport aircraft are penalized in all these respects.
It is seen that the major problems which need to be resolved are: (I) reduction in operational (certif:.cation requirements) constraints in order to improve the use of the e×isting and growing body of general aviation and light trmnspoz% aircraft, (2] i_,rovement in safety while operating in icing conditions, and [3) reduction in manufacturing and mainter2_nce costs of ice protection systems as a basis for i_proving the operational opportunities of short distance shuttle services. It is evident that to solve these problems, a new, concerted effort ._ast be initiated to combine the advancements in instrumentation, ice protection capabilities and methods, weather forecasting techniques, etc., so as to provide a sound and current technological basis for the design and ce,_tificatioh of light transport and general aviation aircraft.
OBJECTI\_ The objectives of this program were to define for .NASA both a long and a short term icing research and technology program responsive to the needs and desires of members of the light transport and genera/aviation industD,.
Included are assessments of the current state-of-the-art in prediction and test techniques and facilities, as well as the adequacy, of the existLng data base and aircraft inst_nentation under icin_ operation.
SCOPE :L\_ %PPROA_ The program was accomplished by laving out a detailed and relevant foundation fcr acaumulation of _ta'_i_h defines the current and future icing prediction, testing, protection methods, and instrumentation that are applicable to the probiem3 ef hght transport and general a_iation aircraft.
This foundation estahhshed a basis for determining the requirements for future icing research anJ technolo_, efforts.
As shown in figure i, the program consisted of ten separate, but related tasks. The first six of these are related, in tLat the results of each task correspond on a one-to-one basis with the list of ice sensitive components defined in task I. The outputs of these tasks are similar in format, each generating parameter lists which apply to the task I components. The results of the first six tasks were used with the additional assessments of tasks VII and VIII to provide the conclusions and recommendations of task IX. Task X is a reporting task.
The general approach consisted of the division of each task into an initial definition phase and a final assessment phase, including conclusious and recommendations for each task. The intermediate effort, _hich involved data gathering, data relating, sorting, and interim evaluation was accomplished concurrently by means of a computerized data management system.
This step permitted a major increase in program analysis efficiency by: (i) data search and recording of all parameters concurrently, and (2) data combinations, sorting, relating, etc., by computer, based on the use of specialized parameters derived from the objectives of each task. Additional data were obtained from the results of a survey of Government and industry relating to the objectives of this program.
For the purposes of the study program, light transport is defined as fLxed wing 31rcraft of up to 30 passengers, having an annual utilization of about Z500 hours in scheduled operations, and operating primarily at altitudes below 19,000 feet. General aviation refers to fixed wing aircraft utilized in non-milita_, and unscheduled airline operations. Aircraft with the following types of engines are being considered: jet and fan engines, turboprops, and piston enzines.
P R06_.<_IPAYCFF The Lntent of this program is to provide gui#ance regarding areas for icing research and tec>_ology _ich have the greatest potential for advance- ment of the ice protection state-of-the-art as applicable to light transport and general aviation aircraft. The short term and long term icing research programs developed from the result_ of the literature search, questionrmire returns, and task studies of this prod-am, along with discussions with other icing authorities will help define a la_je scale effort for NASA facility _mprovement and for N_L_A in-house and/or _ontracted research and technolo_.
activity. _lese efforts should cul,_[nate .n an increased utilization of _eneral aviation a_,d light transport aircraft with attendant improvements in safety and econorm" of operation.

Task Flow _escriptlon Sect ion II I RESEARCH DATA ACQUISITILIN LITERATURE SEARCH From the very beginning of this study, it was recogni:ed that a fairly extensive search of the literature wDuld be required to provide a basis for assessing the current state of icing technology and future icing research requirements. .is noted in the introduction, the last major efforts in this field were spearheaded by NAC% in the early 1950'5. _bst of the literature resultung from those efforts _has been in circulation for some time, and reviewing such documents would not result in information of which _e are not already well aware. (For example, Rockwell already has an in-house file of about I00 icing related documents published circa this period, r_stly by NACA._ On the other hand, a search of the more recent literature _Duld provide an indication of the problems and solution5 which currently exist in the genera/ aviation and light transport industr F. .As a result, the search .was linited to documents published since 1968, and to subjects concerning aircraft related icing only. Helicopters were eKplicit!y omitted since it was felt that this area would be studied under a similar but separate _ASA _ponsored contract.
The scope and effort of the search was quite large, since it was intended that the literature would provide the support required for the research _rograra recz,_endations. Three search sources were utilized - K:_SAo Natlonal Technical Information Service (NTIS), and the Defense Dooanentation Center tDDCT. Abstracts were requested of all documents in these files which addressed aircraft icing and m%ti-.icing.
Fi_re 2 present3 a sample page from the GLSA literature search. A total of 221 references were cited by K.LSA as pertinent to aircraft icing and anti-icing methods. Note that abstracts were not available for all of the references, although in many cases, at least a partial description of the contents was included. Doctanents published in a foreign [an_n_age (excluding translations) were not considered for the purposes of this contract, due to tJ_e and man power constraints. However, it was noted that eight of these ',,ould pertain to the objectives of this program :rod might be included in future studies. Based on t_he abstracts, -9 references _mre determined to bo of further interest to :his program, ;rod _,ere ordered.
The 3FC search turned up only 3" doctm_ents which net the search ::nstraints. Table [ presents the "first" and "second leveI search term._s" :_ed by DDC to extract dccuv, ents of interest from its files. In essence, the search requires t.hnt at least one term from each level appear in the descrip- tars for each dee',mont. _us ,-_a>" be seen to be the case m the DDC search s:Lwle ,if fi;are 3.

• _, ? , lO '!G_;I?,.-%I. tL._GH I,_ '>;' I: "_T{ _2_;.\l.r'l-y The .NTIS cited 122 docLments. Thirty seven were considered of interest to the program. Seven were found to be duplicates, so thirty documents were ordered.
[n all, 380 documents were cited by the three services, and 122 were ordered. However, the ntmVoer actually reviewed totalled 141, since: (I) some of the doclanents which were received contain a number of separately referenceable articles of interest to the program, and (2) there were doc_nents not listed in any of the searches which were already in Rockwell's possess ion.
A computerized bibliography of the references which have been reviewed as part of this program was developed. This file stores the reference titles in standard bibliography format, but also keeps tr,_ck of t_he year of publication, the source of the do_ent (e,g., USA_, USN, cor_panv, country., etc.), a subject (assigned by the user), and the Government accession n_nber (NASA, DDC, NTIS, or other). The most current output of the biblio_Taphy is presented in Appendix A.
A manipulation of this reference file was made to sort the above reports by sabject. This was done in order to identify those areas where icing work and studies are currently being conducted which have application to ,'_kSA research objectives. It would also point to areas where such work is lacking.
The results of this file search are presented Ln Appendix A. It was fo_d that in general, there was good balance among the separate subjects. .As exvected, the bulk of t_he references could be classified as pertaining to gener_l aircraft Icing. _-ere were also quite a few ¢oncernLng anti-icing and deicing systems, chnlv three accident reports relating to icing were revie_;ed, plus three on fuel additives, and _hree on carburetor icing. Cnly five out of the i_i reports dealt entirely with an analytical model for air- craft icing. The literature searches turned up a number of do_n_nents on helicopter icing, but these were not ordered unless they appeared to have application to the general aviation segment of the industrw as well. .As a result, only six docam,ents are listed under "helicopter icing" in Appendix B.
Some reports such as the accident reports which were not specifically sought, turned trp in the literature search due to the key" code _Drds used in the search. The," _ere reviewed for their possible contribution to the program and recorded. It is suspected, from the review of aany documents, that much gocd data may remain hidden due to: _.[> the use of nondescript titles, or ,2" the fact that a reFort _lv contain icing data which is not properly" identified via either the title or key search terms.
[IAY% _IAK_IFiJ Fits Review of the literature has to be acco,,_plished in a consistent, repeat- able _aumer, with certaLn questions being asked of each document which related explicitly to the objectives of the progran. In the process, the reviewer obtains a feel for the content of the literature and its application Ii potential for the various tasks of the program. However, after reviewing more than i00 documents, it becomes difficult to efficiently remember or sort out which of the documents ,_as applicable to what purpose. .Also, this procedure al_st requires that the reviewer also be the primary, investigator for the effort, if he is to know what is contained in each document.
In order to get around this problem, a computerized data management system was used in this program. The idea behind this system is to provide a means of storing the information fotmd in the literature into an easily retrievable file. In this way, the reviewer quickly scans and reviews each document, answering a number of pertinent questions in code form on computer data sheets. The data sheet information is then punched into cards and entered into the icing research data file.
For this study, the _PdIK IV File _nagement System was used. ,_nis is a system proprietary to Informatics, Inc., but _ich is on line as part of the Rock_'ell computer system. ._ the name implies, the primary.,concept of ._DdZi IV is the ability to manipulate files of data. Basically, what the user must do when startlng out, is to decide what informatlon he wants to store from each record (or reference), how he wants to store it, and un _t_at format he wants to input the data into the system. Thxs "file creation" process is depicted in figure 4, and can be broken down into "file definition," "transaction definition" [input format), and "file creation" phases, it is important to choose the categories of information to be stored carefully when first developing the file because it becomes increasingly difficult to go back and restr_acture the file as the number of records (or references) inserted into the file grows.
u_noe the files and their transactions have been defined, the user has the ability to solve his information _mlagement requirements. In _RK IV, this is done through the use of "requests." In general, requests are the mea_:_ bv which a user selects records from a file, selects specified data from "he records for computation and logical processing, and _,q_ecifies the desired output. This output normally takes the form of reports, inte,'nnediate result files, subsets of the original file, or combinations of all of these.
A _wr>' s umplified scheme for a _%ARK _" file is sho_n in figure S. [n this example, the total file length allocated for data storage is 2- locations per record, or reference. The first three are allocated to the reference nigher, ,'md the next fifteen to the aircraft type discussed m that reference. _e last three sets of three locations are for filing the lee sensitive ce,,'zponent, if _W, addressed in the reference, the anti-ice system discussed, and the .!ata base vi.e., _/_nd tunnel testing, anal>_izal, etc._.
Note tN_t for the iatter three, a code number is stored, instead of a _vrd description. _is is done to reduce the file si:e requirements. For e×;tmpie, i: each of those three parameters _ere allocated 20 locations each in the file. then the file length _2uld be -S per reference, instead of the 2-

locations shown in the figure. The code numbers are chosen from tables of components, ,_nti-ice systems, and data base which the analyst constructs at task initiation.
The file used to actually accomplish this effort was rmch larger than the sample file in figure 5, but the basic principles are the same. A number of questions were developed for classifying and storing the informa- tion found in the references. These questions were based on the investiga- tor's interpretations of the task objectives, and deal with a number of items required by these tasks.
Figure 6 presents a t}_pical _rk sheet used during the review of the literature. The work sheet breaks down into four different parts. The first part deals with the reference in general, and includes codes for a reference number, the component types, anti-ice methods, and the availability of the reference. The tables of codes which were used are presented in Appendix B.
The "data base" describes the tyloe of data in the report, such as commentary, statistical, operational experience reporting, type of test facility, computer progTsm, etc. The 'hnethod of expression" describes or classifies any" specific equations, or notes whether there are computer programs/data or experimental measurements included, lqle "research status" allows the reviewer to note whether the reference suggests that research is either needed or not needed, as well as how badly it is needed. A code is included for the "icLng conditions" discussed in the reference, such as liquid water content, altitude, drop size, flight test under natural or tanker icing, combinations, flight profiles, cerzification data, and many others. The "state-of-the-art" code really' applies to the method of anti-icing or ins_%ruments which r_easure icing. Using this code, the reviewer assesses where the state-of-the-art lies; i.e., off the shelf, new' concept, etc.
Provision is made for indicating the aircraft discussed in each reference, if applicable. Finally, up to four lines of co.n_nents are allc_ed regarding the overall reference. Here the reviewer can rate the source, or simply provide a mini-abstract, if he wishes.
The second part of the work _heet deals with the icing phenomena in the reference, such as heat transfer mm!yses , water drop trajectory/collection efficiencies, ice shedding, aircraft effects, etc. Once the phenomenon has been coded, questions regarding its data base, method of expression, research status, and icing conditions are considered, rE icing phenomena are not discussed, all the attendant codes and comments which follow may be left bhmk.
The third part of the work sheet addresses the penalties discussed in the reference. 7hose are coded to siTufy whether the}" address components, or are aircraft associated [weight, speed, drag, r_ge, etc.). A rating of the penalty is also coded: no effect, small effect, moderate effect, _evere effect, etc.

The data base, method of expression, research status and icing conditions are noted. Up to four lines of co_nent regarding the penalty information in the reference are allowed. Again, if penalty informa- tion is not discussed, all the attendant codes and comments are omitted.
The fourth part of the work sheet, which was an addition made after a considerable number of references ha_ been reviewed, addresses the instrumen- tation associated with icing which are discussed in each reference. Again, the s_me questions are ssked in the inst_mentation section as were asked in the previous ones. A/lowances are made for additional instrumentation when '%here than one" code is used. The principle of operation and utilization of the instruments are also indicated by code number. Again, up to four lines of con_nents regarding the instrument information are allowed. A component code number in the first par_ of the work sheet uvmediately indicates to the computer and reviewer when the main subject of the reference is instrumentat ion.
The questions sad codes used are meant to reflect the task requirements.
Some additions or changes were made, such as the addition of a section regarding instrumentation. However, as more and more of the literature was reviewed, it became more difficult to make changes, since one would then have to go back and rereview the documents already incorporated into the files.
_i 141 references were reviewed from the standpoint of these questions, and the resulting information was input into the >_RK IV system to create a file o£ data pertaining to icing research requirements. _he entire process, including the literature search, file creation, and file manipulation is schematically depicted in figure 7. As expected, the file >ms an efficient tool for ,.naaipulating the findings of the literature so as to address the requirements of the various program tasks.
During the course of this effort, the computer file was interrogated in a number of different ways, and the results _:ere used in the fulfillmen_ of each task, as required. The computer outputs from these interrogations are included in this report as Appendix C.

To solicit the latest up-to-the-minute information on many different aspects of icing technology including ice protection system design and operational techniques used by the general aviation aircraft industry and related Government agencies.
To solicit the views, comments and reconmendatious from the experts in industry and Government, concerned with icing problems and their resolut ion.
, ro give the icing technology erperts in industry, and Government an opportunity to voice their concerns relating to icing and icing protection and to influence the direction of future NASA research.
These inputs would allow the reflection of the broader view of the general aviation indust_z in the reeommencmtions given to ,xi$SAfor short and long term research plans.
A copy of the survey/questionnaire and the letter of transmittal sent to industry, and Gove.-n_ment agencies is contained within the report inAppendix D. The survey/questionnaire _s sent to eight Government agencies and fifty- two general aviation aircraft companies and universities.
The questions in the survey were grouped into eight basic sections dealing with: I. Ice _rotection Systems 2. lee Protection Penalties 3. Propulsion System IcLng I. Airframe Icing S. Testing Tec.hniques O. Calculation Techniques -. h'eather Data 8. FLqal Recommendations _zese eight section> went right to the heart of the important naterial of the study program in an effort, not only to obtain the most current infor- .nation available frcm those experts from industry and 'Cevernment agencies '_orking in the a_rcraft icing field, but in the case of penalties data, to obtam data not readily available in the general literature, An initial IIi____ review of the literature obtained in the study, program indicated that there was only a limited amount of icing, icing component, or anti-icing system penalty data available in usable form. Anti-icing protection system penalty data is usually aircraft model oriented and _-ystem oriented rather than anti- iced component oriented.
7dso noted in the general literature was a lack of specific data base information regarding specific computer codes used for ana_ sis. This may, of course, be due to the proprieta_, nature of nm_ny computer programs developed in the private industry, sector. Specific information on data base was requested, not only to obtain direct and current information on the subject, but a/so due to the fact that in much of the literature reviewed the data base was poorly defined or merely inferred.
Each questionnaire was sent out with a letter of trans_nittal. B,'c basic letters were used, differing only in one or t_o sentences depending upon ",hether the letter was being sent to a representative of the aviation industry or to a Government agency. In general, the questionnaires were not necessarily sent directly to the icing expert, but to a company official who _muld be in a position to see that any information presented was in accord- ante with the individmti ¢ompm_- policies.
_proximateb" 55 percent of the companies, universities, and <_vernment agencies receLving the questionnaire responded. A list of the respondents is sho_n _n table it. _hich indicates that a good cross section of beth indicts- and J_vet_ent contributed generously to the program.

Section FV
Section FV TE(]qNICAL DISCUSSION OF TASKS in the following _echnical discussions, are the assessments and evalua- tions of the many facets of icing technology referred to in the specific program stud}- tasks. It was the considered opinion of both NASA and Rockwell that these assessments and evaluations would play a very necessary part in the development of the requirements for a short term and long term icing research program.
ICE. SD4SITI%Z CQ_E_OhT-\T C%TECORIZATION tTASK I] 1"he logical first task requirement in this program was t_ identify and list all light transport and general aviation aircraft components which are ice sensitive, particularly those which need to be considered _'ith respect to ice protection. Ice sensitive refers to those components which: l. Ac_nm_late ice in the presence of an icing conducive atmosphere.
2. Are '_roblem oriented" with respect to aircraft performance, safer>', ,_mintenance, design cost, life cycle cost, or other t>_e of penalty.
[he ice sensitive component list developed for the stud}- program is one of the prL,_ar%- codes for the data file and is show_ in its entirety in Appendix 3 as the first table in the series of 15 "lookup" tables. This code list not only lists the ice sensitive qomponent but also gives answers to the followLn< questions for each component.

The effects of ice on the unheated components and the penalties associated with the ice protection systems are the subjects of discussion in subsequent sections of the report.
ICE PROTECTION ._THODS CATEGORIZATION (TASK 2) Ice protection methods for the ice sensitive components identified for Task r were itemized and utilized for the matrS-E of combinations shown in table Ill. A list of all of the various ice protection methods currently used or in research and development stages have been included in the second table of .Appendix B. There is a computer file code number for each method and there is a cohmm parameter established for the code in the data file.
The ice protection methods sho_m in the matrix of table III have been further detailed in that they have been coded to indicate the type of system such as continuous, cyclic, intermittent, or "one shot," thal are normally used for a specific component.
In general, ice protection systems fall into the following categories : I. Hot Air " Electrical 3. Fluid 4. Pneunat ic = Other (Acoustic. Hicrowave. Vibratory, Icephobics) The first four categories are in cot, men use today, and have been for some tL_ in the past. The systems tunder the heading "other" are still Ln the concep- ttutl ant'or research ,rod devetopment stages.
All of these categories of systems fall into one or hoth of t_c possible t',_es of protection svsteras: LI_ deicing syste_, or .2 _, anti-icing svstem,_.
Deicing refers to the removal of ice accretion after it has built up.
Deicing can be accomplished b?- ,my of the categories of sy'ste_ listed.
Anti-icing refers te the prevention of ice for_,altion before it c_ start to build u_, In <choral. anti-icLng c&n only be accomplished by the first three categories of sx'ster_, ba>icallv fluid or thermal neans, It r_>" be noted here that _ll of the he;, conce"tuai and research :rod develc!'ment systems are ietcl:_ <'.'_,tem t,.Tes. This is not considered tmusual since one of the main concerns is to reduce the po_er requirements of these ne_, systems. [_2iCillg systems, by the nature of their operational characteristics, which are a[_,avs intemittent, use less ?m,er thin1 mt:-_cing svste_.
-'3 Descriptions and discussions of the conventional methods of ice protection and of ice protection systems may be found in many of the documents listed in the bibliography of references herein, in particular, refe-ences 75, i05, and 1O8 contain design data, descriptions and discussions of both deicing and anti-icing systems.
COMPON_-NT A,\q3 ICE PROTECTION ,_ETHOD PENALTY .a_$SESSMF_NT .aND E%La/UATION (T.aSK 3] 6"D;ERAL The objectives of this section are to identify ice protection systems and related factors whi-_h have the greatest payoff for L_proving the icing condition operational capability of general aviation and light transport aircraft.
In order to achieve the objectives that are desired, an assessment of the penalties associated with the ice sensitive aircraEt components and the ice protection systems utilized or contemplated for these components was _mde insofar as data were available. A literature search was conducted to obtain data with respect to penalty data associated with the ice sensitive components or ice protection systems. Five lines (12 through 16] _ere allowed for penalty associated data on the cemp. uterized master file computer code fonn. k'uestions and fill-in -_harts were included with the industry-/ Government su.,wev questionnaire in order to solicit the desired information from general aviation aircraft manufacturers, univcrsities, and experts in goverr_,,ent agencies associated ;,ith aircraft icLng problems and technolo%D..
]_e literature search was conducted for penalty factors which concerned both unprotected aircraft ice sensitive components _nd ice protection systems _uch as the followhng: i. Power Requirements 2. Initial Cost o, Safety The literature search was disappointing in that very little information on penalties is published in the general literature, particularly under the general title of component penalties. Certain t>-pes of information, such as electrical power requirements and heat requirements can be extracled from published analyses made on specific systems for specific aircraft. However.
specific penalties such as electrical power required or heat required (which is sometimes translated into an engine bleed air flow available) are "difficult to assign a relative ranking because they are intimately involved with the type, size, and capabilities of the specific aircr&ft/engine _ype involved. The ice protection system requirement for a particular ice sensitive component which may i_pose a severe penalty to one ,type of aircraft may impose only a minor penalty to another type of aircraft.
It is logical, then, to make penal_" assessments on a basis of ice protection system(s) for a specific aircraft and/or type of aircraft where ice protection systems are provided and data are available. Different kinds of ice protection systems for the same ice sensitive component are evaluated with respect to each other. The same logic holds true with respect to ice accretion on tmprotected components regarding the impact on aircraft aero- dFnamic perfor_mace. The unpact of icing on aircraft performance due to icing of unheated surfaces such as the leading edges of the wings, horimontal and vertical stabilizers, w_ng struts, engine cowl propeller, etc. is in the form of increased drag, reduced lift and rate of climb, and increased stall speed. Fl!ght tests have indicated thal only i/4 inch of glaze ice on the leading edges of the wing can reduce climb speed by 300 fpm (reference I).
This _me reference mdicates that wing icing can contribute _0 to 60 percent of the total icing drag on an airplane. Propeller efficienQ" on a typical G/A alrcraft can be reduced by as _]ch as lO to 19 percent (reference l and _AC_ _ 1398_ by ice buildups. For business jet _pe aircraft '_ith new wing LapproxL_ating sup_ercritical_ cross sections, less than 1/4 inch of ice on the leading edge "hi-lite" or stagnation point can increase the stall speed by i0-15 hnots. Propeller driven G/A aircraft also exhibit the same 10-15 k_,ot stall speed increase for I/8 to 1/'4 inch ice buildup on the wing leading edge. Icing accretions on the engine cowl, aircraft nose, .-dscellaneotts anterma, and other protuberances can contribute as much as .'0-25 percent of the total increased drag due to aircraft icing.
Recent tests with simulated ice representing l0 minutes of _oderate 0.5 gr_s mS_ icing on the leading edges cf the Sabreliner 05 wing, increased the -tall speed by 13 k_ots. Although handling quatities of the aircraft _e:'e vet--" satisfactory, some buffeting was ex_perienced with the ice shapes.
Bata on a Z_I-21D aircraft taken from reference _1 indicate that at 1-C kCb_. an ice acctr_alatien of _5 re 1.9 inches moderate icing _ cn ti_e flight surface lead,n; c4ges will result Ln a 10-3¢ i_et Loss in $peed at the same _ewef setting.
A very excellerlt study of the effects of simulated hoar frost and Joe
on three basic wing configurations of the NACA 65A215-wing section is cnntained in reference 53 by Sundberg mud Trunov. Figure 8, taken from reference 53, shows the effect of slmulated hoar frost on maximum lift. The loss in CLm_ x can be greatly reduced by cleaning the first 18 percent of the chord. The effects on maximum lift and cruise drag of si-_ilated large leading edge ice shapes considered of importance for light aircraft are shown in figure 9, taken from reference 53. The effects on CL[_) and CLma x of ice shapes simulating cruise conditions for no flap and for trailing edge flaps e_ended are shown in figures I0 and ii, taken from reference 53. A third configuration with leading edge slats was tested, but is not shown here since most all general aviation aircraft and most light transports do not use leading edge slats, whereas, many use flaps of one ,type or another. Of key interest in these figures, is the fact t_mt the big reduction in CL[_) or CLms_x at the higher angles of attack occurs with a minimum accretion (hoar frost sirm//ation) and increase somewhat from that point. At low angles of attack for the no fflap configuration and at negative angles of attack for the flaps extended configuration, vePJ little change occurs in CL(a) or CI_x for any of the sL_ulated ice shapes. For sustained exposure to icing conditions, an aircraft loitering with a relatively high angle of attack must have an ice protection system that keeps the flight surfaces relatively clean in order for the system to be effective.
RELATII'E PENALTIES [TJE TO EFFECTS OF ICING/ICE P_TI'ECTiON SYSTEm5 Data from the results of the questionnaire were reviewed and selected penalty data on the icing effects o11 aircraft or cor_ponents or penalties due to tee protection systems were tabulated. Table IV lists the aircraft penalties and tcble V the components, by the .nanufacturer's name, aircraft m_del, and by component nm-ne. The penalties are given a relative ranking as: (I) severe penalty. I[2) noderate penalty, and (3) small penalty. The majority of the rankings for both total aircraft and components were either moderate or small. The only severe penalties were related to the effects of icing of wing leading edge surfaces.
Table V! is a penalty assessment of the protection systems b_sed on data from the results of the sur%'ev/questionnaire. Penalty rankin_s are given for beth aircraft and cemDonents in terms of Dower, cost, weight, range .educe.on. etc. ,-he table lists the data by the manufacturer's name and aircraft name and/or model nu_,ber. In some instanc2s, actual values for the power or engine bleed data are _iven.

It has been found that in general the ice protection system weight of all aircraft except large wide body, transports ranges from 0.2 to 1.5 percent of the vehicle empty weight. This ice protection system weight for piston engine aircraft ranges from 0.6 to 1.0 percent of the aircraft takeoff weight. Also, it ha_ been calculated that in general, ice protection systems neigh in the order of 0.4 to 1.6 pounds per square foot of protected area [reference IG2].
Because of the discrepancies m the "bookkeeping" ut_ed to assign ice protection system weights and those associated systems weight that may have a portlon attributed to ice protection, exact weights are sometLmes diffiumlt to come by.
In percentage ratios of ice protection system weight to aircraft weight from heaviest to tightest, the sequence is as follows: i. General Aviation (Piston or Turboprop _Igines] 2.

The biggest scatter in ice protection system weight is for the smaller aircraft. This is due to the fact that there is a variation in t?pes of ice protection systems used, there is a variation in which components are provided with protection between types of aircraft, and variations due to the state-of-the art changes.
For new ice protection systems, considerable weight savings are anticipated as well as great savings in power penalties. Reference IE4 shows the following advantages of a microwave ice protection concept relative to an electrothermal concept for the same component: i. Power, 80 percent less.
2. Weight, 17 to 30 percent less.
3. Ice detection is inherent in the microwave system.
,1. Reduced complexity.
5. Cost, 2- percent less.
The latter z_o ite_ require the proof _hat _te_ from a complete research and development progrmm estimated to require about " to 8 years ti_e. 3hinta±nability, durability, and _daptabili_: all need to be proven as yet, xiththis _vstem.
Another new ice protection system, the electroi._pulse system, has also been sho_n to have considerable advantage over the electro- thermal system relative to weight and power penalties and other a_pects as follo_s I. Power, 90 percent less.
2. ;_eight, 3 to 2._ percent less.
3. Cost, 29 percent ie_s.
4. Less ce_vlex.

watts/in. 2 for the electroiz_ulse system. The payoffs for the development of
systems with this sort of power savings are obviously very, good provided that the concepts are proven to be feasibly sound for fixed wing general aviation aircraft.
_IN'IT-'4_NCE In assessing the overall penalties associated with ice protection systems, the probability of failure and complexity of the systems n_/st be considered. The probability of hot air thermal systems failing is very.
small. ,\_q!functioning of the valves and associated controls are about the only possibility, l_e electrothermal systems are much mere complex with all of their contactors and controls, therefore, their failure is more probable.
Electrothermal systems are more efficient generally, thus causing less power loss to the engine than the aerothermal systems. Maintenance is less on aerotherm_l systems, therefore, maintenance costs are less. However, the possibilit'y of burnout arid G%_age to the electrical heating elements has not been completely eliminated by design as vet. .an excellent listing of ice protection system components sho_-ing mean time between failures (3rrBF], mean time betnceen unscheduled replacements _fP.rR], and corrective maintenance man hours ((l\] that are at 90 percent confidence level (CL) for wh%dshield /clogging/anti-icing, wing and empennage anti-icing, empennage deicing, propeller deicing, and engine inlet anti-icing are contained in reference 102. Lxanples of these data, sho_,_%here in tables IX through k%q, point out problem areas and places where improvements should be made with ice gretection subsystem components.

Some 613 persons were exposed to death and injury" and 313 a_rcraft were d:mmged. Carburetor icing caused 44 accidents kn 19_0-6" time period (reference _I. These statistics indicate the seriousness of carbure- tor icing problems and their effects on aircraft safety. It also helps to e,,_phasi:e the requirement for continued research into the carburetor icing :_reblem.

._my investigators solved the _,_ter drop trajectory equations and determined the impingement limits and the collection efficiencies for a variety of airfoil shapes. It _s found that the accuracy of their solutions w_s very much dependent on how accurately they could predict the flow field.
For JoukowskJ airfoils, _'linders, ellipses, and spheres, exact potential flow solutlans exist and the agreement between anal>_tical and e.rperimental data is good. However, a great majority of practical airfoils do not have exact potennal f-aw solutions, and the agreement between ar_al_ical _nd experhnental data ',_a_ not as good, indicating that water catch calculations are ver_" sensitive to the airflow field.
Computerized techniques are utilized for solving the water drop trajectories ¢_quations for reasonably shaped, 2-D and _._ept airfoils, and axis}'_netric engine inlets at angles of attack. They solve the _ter droplet trajecto_- equations by a nt_nerical technique _md then use the water drop trajector7 resists to calculate the water catcA data; i.e., local efficieno" distrib,.:tious, local '^ater catch distribution, impingement limits, total collection efficiency, and the total ',_ntercatc.h.

t_-oical "double horn" shape that results from water tZowin the stagnation
region. The exact shape of glaze ice is difficult to predict a_nd the growth
is nonlinear because the ice affects the flow field (NACA TN 4151).
On highly swept airfoils, glaze ice tends to form as a series of discontinued cu_nps (cup shapes), sometimes referred to as "lobster tails."
These shapes are repeatable for tests using the same conditions all around, but there is no empirical eqtmtion or theoretical prediction method for determining the size and shape of this type of ice configuration.
The ice accretion information available from published d_ta for deter- mining the ice shapes is applicable to unswept airfoils at limited angles of attack, for the most part. However, reference 121 does contain a discussion •_- _. progrmm, isponsored bv the FAA and conducted in of the Boeing .ki_cra_ Company - ' the NASA 0 ftx 9 ft IRT) to obtain basic ice accretion and ice shedding data on t,,Tical jet transport swept airfoils.
:ce accretion tests were conducted on two swept airfoil sedtions representative of the inboard _md outboard _ing or horizontal stabilizer airfoil sections of t}mical jet transports. I1_e size and shape of these ice accretions were measured through photo_rap hs and actual plaster casts of the ice caD.

Xlthough this _rk was conducted for large transport aircraft win£ sect[ons, the tecb_o[e_X," is applicable to general aviation and light trans- port aircraft. The empirical relationships develoFed which correlate measured ice accretion rates with theoretical impingement parameters are not restricted to any 2articular size of airfoil, although the complex t-ends of airfoil the data m'eciude a {enera_ ice accretion relationship _ith other sk_mes ,involving c:m_ber, tmg!e of attack, etc.).

Fhotog_raphs and qualitative data havebeen obtained over the years for
ice accretion tests utilizing aircraft flying in natural icing conditions,
aircraft flying behind tanker aircraft, and for full scale an_ subscale
models in icing wind turLnels. Quantitative data, to a limited extent, were
obtained by specially equippedaircraft with instrurr_nted airfoil shapes
extending vertically from the fuselage section of the aircraft (i.e., Canadian "ice wagon" and USA/: B-2_ test aircraft). These aircraft were flown in natural icing conditions. Considerable data in natural icing conditions related to ice accretion were obtained with multiple cylinders in order to relate the airfoil catch characteristics with the multiple cylinder accretion characteristics. However, the bulk of the published quantitative data on ice accretion on airfoils and all other body shapes tested have been obtained from icing wind tunnel tests.
[_ SHEDDING Ice shedding from aircraft components on _hich ice has been accreted is a f_nction of ma_y, many variables and sometimes occurs in a totally random fashion, lee shed@ing is some function of the shape or confi_°uration of the body or airfoil to which the ice has adhered. It is a function of the type and shape of ice, which in turn, is a ftmction of temperature, LWC, droplet size, airstre_ velocity, and duration of exposure. The angle of attack and the _'eep angle pla(' an extensive role in both the shape and sJ'' of the ice accretion. Any discussion of ice shedding must necessarily address ice shed from unprotected surfaces, passively protected surfaces, and surfaces proteczed with active ice protection systems.
For those surfaces which are unprotected, the accreted _ce or some portion of it will shed for the following reasons: I. Some oortion of the ice btiildup is _aker than the aerodyna,'nio forces acting trpon it.
i. Natural flexing and/or vibration of the ice aecreted surface is sufficient to break the bGnd with the ice.
The aircraft, due to acceleration, altitude change, or meteorologi- cal changes, flies into an area where the air temperature and subsequent component surface temperature reach 5_°P or above.
For those surf:ices _hich are _,assively protected by hav_ng a surface '*hich either has a.n icephobic :nateria! covering it, or itself is icephobic in nature, the ice will shed for the s_e reasons _iven in the previous :_a[a!._ra?h. _',e main difference is that the ice will probably shed before it builds to the s_me si-e, because the adhesive forces are .inch less, thus requiring less aerod_1".,_n, ic force for ice rer._oval.
For the ice accreted surfaces which are protected by active ice orotection systems only deicing syste_ are of concern. For these surfaces, some portion of the ice will shed for the following reasons: i. Iie bond between the ice and the surface is disturbed by mechanically changing the surface by vibrating it or expanding it, as with pnetm_tic boots. Aerodynamic forces assist in the final removal of the ice.
2. The layer of ice being brittle, fractures due to vibration or change in surface area.
3. 7ae temperature of the interface between the ice and the body surface is made to exceed 52°F by a heating system, thus eliminating the ice adhesion. ._erodFnamic forces then re_ve the ice.
The experimental data that has been published on ice shedding is extremely limited, particularly that which is related to fragment sizes. The _mjority of the data or information is related to qualitative assessments as to w,hat component the ice sheds from, and how soon did it shed after leaving the icing cloud which was Fenetrated. Testing for ice shedding ha_ been accomplished during flight in natural icing conditions, flight behind.
tanker aircraft, and in icing wind tunnels. The majority of the testmg for which quantitative data have been obtained i_a_ been by tanker tests _,d from icin? _.d t,_mnel tests.
Reference 121 contains a discassion of a Boeing Aircraft Company method of calc'alatlng the airfoil/ice interface temperature and predicting the tL,_e at which the ice wil_ shed. This method was developed asing icing tunnel test data in conjunctior with a heat transfer analysis. The ice shedding cai_nalation procedure was demonstrated and sho_r, to be censer _:ative from natural icing flight test data. S_ibsequently. a computer program was developed by the Boein_ _ircraft Corcpa.ny to compute the leading edge skin temperature beneath ice accreted on ,_mheated airfoil surfaces. This program also determined from the calculated transient temr'rature profiles (reference 133_ the altitudes _t which shedding _ould oct-at during a descent.

ice shed from the leading edges of the wings or tail in an unsymmetrical
ir_Jnnermay cause aircraft control problems which could be hazardous if it occurred during landing. Testing of such a situation is extremely difficult or impossible in natural ice, but can be simulated with tanker tests, dry air tests 'with sLmulated ice shapes, or in large icing wind tunnels such as the .NASA Altizude Wind Tunnel (AWl), after the planned rehabilitation is completed.
There is very little published data on ice shedding including the conditions for shedding, ice fragment sizes, and the trajectories of the fragments. Although the effects of ice shedding can be different fo_ each aircraft, depending on its design configuration, there is a requirement for more research to build up the experimental data base of general infomation on these factors. There is a need for e.rpanding methods for determining ice shedding characteristics for straight and swept airfoils and other _ody shapes based on the various types of acoreted ice, including the mmxunum and average size of the ice fragments. Theoretical methods for determining trajectories and impact velocities of shed ice are required which can acco,mt for the shape and size of the ice fragments.

A recent survey (1979) o£ uhe state-of-the-art in aerodynamicpenalty
prediction wasmadeby the Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory and referred
to in a technical memorandum (reference 125) on Air Force aircraft icing
needs. The following conclusions were made: I. At present, there are no theoretical methods available that can be used to provide numerical lift and drag increment values. Yhere has never been any attempt made in the past to develop the capability from a purely theoretical standpoint.
2. _bst of the existing methods a_'e empirical and are based on very limited test data. Drag estimates for other airfoils are extrapolated from these data and the accura_f of the results are -_proven.
5. There are n_nerous references available on uhe subject of the methods of calculating water droplet trajectories relative to aera- d'_mmnlc bodies and to determine impingement limits and distribution.
There are only very limited attempts to directly relate meteoro- logical data to drag or lift increment numbers. .No attempts were made to understm]d the exact manner in which the ice grows and to develo F a detailed geometry description. The capability exists to estimate the rate of water catch (ibs/hr/ft of span) on a given exq_osed surface.

F_XTERLMEAT,-%L PREDICTItlN METHODS There are basically four methods of testing aircraft and aircraft components for ice accretion and icing effects. These are icing tests in m_tural icing conditions, icing tests behmd a tanker aircraft, icing tests Ln icing wind tunnels, and tests using ground spray systems. T_v kinds of tests accomplished in icing wind tunnels are full scale model tests and sub- scale ,,model tests.
Current prediction methods for ice accretion are 1L_Lited due to the difficulties caused by a limited data base, uncertain accuracy, _o- dimensional a_atysis, and uncertahl effect of the fuselage nacelles and finite span of the airfoils. .-%11of these difficulties limit the choice to experimental empirlcal _ethods. lrhis approach seems to provide the only nossible answer to the prediction problem at the present time. In order to enhance the level of confidence, the current data base must be expanded. A systematic investigation of airfoils of dlfferent thicMlesses .q_-stbe mmde tO L_prove the accurao" of the resulting empirlcal eqttations and to avoid generalized e×trape!at ions.

Icing tests in natural icing conditions are limited in that it is rarely
possible to find actual design icing conditions for adequate testing, even
with ,modern weather satellite pictures, weather radar, etc. A typical icing search will invOlve 50-60 hours of flight to obtain one to two hours of actual icing erperience, resulting in high costs. ]bus, because of the hiEh cost sand the fact that design ¢onditic 5 are hard to find, the usual proce- dure is to find icing conditions of wbmtever severity is available and to use previous analytical and test data to e_vtrapolate the natural icing test data to the desi_ ex-tremes. .aiso, determination of the characteristics of the icing conditions encountered (L;_E, drop size, etc.) is extremely difficult mud subject to error. _us, natural icing tests are of dubious value when weighed against the cost of conducting these tests (_tDonnell-Douglas paper "Flight Testing in ibex" Air and Icing Cloud," reference 111).
T_,n methods of tanker icing tests have been employed in the past. The first, which is not used very. often, is to motmt a water spray rig ahead of the aircraft Wing, engine, or other component to be tested. The aircraft is then flown at an altitude with the desired ten_erature, and water from the spray rig is Sprayed over the component to cause icing. This method has many problems associated with it includin_ size, weight, and acre turbtuence eft ....
_e_-, caused by" the spray rig.
In the second method, a tanker aircraft equipped wi_u spray nozzies . creates mu artifical cloud into whic& the test aircraft is flown to expose _or_.ons or the entire aircraft to icing conditions. In most cases the cloud is not lar<e enough to enveiop the entire aircraft. This met.hcd is limited in its usefulness and accuracy-, in that it is diffioxlt to simulate acttml desi,_n conditions and to accurately measure the conditions that are produced zn a spray- rig. In _mav cases the drop sizes produced are e×cessive and not representative of those encotmtered m natural conditions The cloud behind the tmker is turbulent due to the tanker aircraft and the spray rig itself.
Research tests have been conducted in the last few years to try to briz.g the droptet size from tanker spra_ rio_ more in line with desired desi_ lmz_, but w:t.hout conple:e success ,reference 61_.

e_5 There are several t_]pes of gTCur, d spray systems thet are used in icing tests with jet engines, fLxed wing aircraft, and helicopters. The spray systems are either right at ground level (for tests with jet engines) or mounted in a tower for creating an icing cloud for low hovering helicepters.
.%lso, these clouds can be used to simulate ground fog type conditions for fixed wing aircraft. In any case, the systems rely on the seasonal low temperatures to produce below freezing conditions necessary for icing tests.
The desired spray cloud conditions are difficult to produce and are often used in conjunction with a large fan er blower to move the cloud ever the vehicle being tested. ._asurements of the icing parameters is particularly difficult with this t3_e of spray system due to the minimum velocity condit ions.

Reference 130 describes the scale model testing at the French St _Ddane Tunnel. The French have had excellent results with scale models down to 1/12 scale when icing similitade laws were respected. Since it is not possible to vary the tunnel altitude or temperature at this wind tunnel, the prototype flight conditions of altitude and temperature have to match the tunnel available condltions, The SI _dane Ttmnel uses the winter season low" temperature conditions for icing tests. Also, it is an atmospheric type t_nel.

In simulated icin_ L%_'C,droplet size, etc., cm_ be changed or controlled as can the tenmerature and air velocity. In bo_h cases measurement of the icing parameters is difficult and inconvenient and are more expensive when done in an aircraft. Tests in t_mnels have not as yet been able to reproduce the higher speed, low turbulence levels, and natural ht_nidity conditions. In the wind tu_mel, due to turbulence or a degree of supersaturation (either true supersaturation or semisaturation caused by presence of large numbers of very minute droplets), frost is usually deposited aft of the true ice formation. The tunnel tests give the impression that the ice formation is of greater extent than would be obser_'ed in flight. Intermittent icing from broken clouds cannot be satisfactorily reproduced in a _ind tunnel as it involves transitlons from saturated to drier air. This is _h) a pressure t>-pe ice detector may function in a _,ind tunnel and give no signal in natural icing, since the" holes may not plug in intermittent (broken cloud) icing. Total aero drag effects cannot be satisfactorily measured in icing tunnels, due to disturbances of spray rigs and interferences of full scale _odels, etc., plus major drag effects are often on unprotected parts of the fuselage, wing tips, antennas, etc. Good practice dictates prudent use of both wind ttumel and natural ice tqight tests and good engineering judgement.

Control of water droplet size in the icing system is considered to be probably the most critical factor required. The icing systems are calibrated in the test cells prior to each engine evaluation. It has been found that droplet sizes vary due to variations in the cell geemet_'. Consequently, parameters sxch as nozzle water/air pressure ratio tor various droplet sizes are letermined for each new installation.

Aircraft 7_nker Facilities Reference 121 contains discussions of the advantages and disadvantages (shortcomings] of aircraft tani<er testing. It is the opinion of some Air Force experts that (after observing numerous evaluations of ice sensitive co_aenent ice protection subsysteF_] tanker, natural, and wind tunnel tests conducted on similar planforms do correlate where similarity in temperature, airl_ow, average LWC and drop sizes exist. However, with tanker tests the models are ai_,_ys full scale, and the aircraft, in combination with the spray tanker, has the capability to move different sections of the aircraft in and out of the spray cone, providing a degree of safety not found under natural icing conditions.
Tanker tests are reliable but meteorological conditions day-to-day carmot be controlled. Variations in hu_nidity and ambient temperature, effects of cloud cover, and freezing level altitude are a few factors which have to be reckoned with when conducting tests with a tanker. With [)resent systems, adeqt_ite control is maintained over the flow, both in rate and voh_ae, off air and _ater to produce consistent clouds having an average LWC of any chosen vatue from 0 to 1.-5 gr_s,"cub_c meter of air. Ho_,ever, only" very limited control over droplet at--e distribution is attained. ['his is due to the fact that the spray nozzles are usually desismed to operate most effectively over a fLxed distribution having a mean droplet size or a fixed flow rata. Also, the clotM behind any tanker ks turbulent, as opposed to the stable conditions in ;uitural _eather. ,q;ere i_ a definite distance from the tanker Ln which to 7roperlF conduct m-flight icing tests.

In recent years, the Air Force ]_as attempted to g,nprove the spray system (reference 61). Limited calibration of a modified icing nozzle configuration was jointly performed by the A_VL:Land the 4950 test wing, IqP.a_B, Ohio. The basic modification consisted of blocking 50 of the i00 nozzle elements in the icing manifold. The resulting calibration of the nozzle configuration showed that the system provided droplet diameters in the range of 26 to 212 microns; an iamprovement in the 18 to 944 micron range of the ur_odified manifold configuration. Since natural environment droplets are from 20 to 50 microns, the problem remains.
FacihLies Rankin_s Table ._X is an assessment of the icing facilities by relative ranking.
The "Facilities" column also contains some subdivision by including methods with the facilities. The various factors are ranked with each facility in an order from 1 to 6 beginning _ith the top '_mdisputed Best" rank of 1 to a "Fair" ranking, n_rnber 6. In the places where nc rankings are given, the assessment factor is not applicable to that particular method or facility.

ASSESS%ffL\T OF N-EZVICE PP&)TECTIC'N ,qETHODS (TASK 6) The majority of modern light transoort aircraft and some general aviation aircraft will fly in icing conditions, •either in the course of regular routes or during inadvertent/unavoidable encounters. Conventional ice protection systems [electrical, hot -_- _hemical, and pneumatic) have been developed to the ertent that technical Lmprovements seem to come only in small expensive steps. Consequently, there exists a requirement for ne_' innovative, low power, and inexpensive ice protection syste,._. The major technical need (reference 29) is a system characterized by a small required specific power.
By this, is meant the smallest amount of po_er per square inch of the projected surface. Such s stems are discussed :n detail in the succeeding paragraphs.
EI_CTRCI3ff_ULSE [(T PRt_EsCTION STSTEN Electroi.mpulse deicing is based upon the tec.hnology of exerting an impactless mechanical shock to the a_rcraft skin in such a way that the elastic de fo,_..ations of the skin result in a mechanical shedding of the ice.

X '_['L'--'d_ ¸ _ "0 Z, i -_r ...i i I -.3 electroimpulse system is based on the principle t.hat an impulse, coming in a precise time sequence, causes deformation in the skin and ice laver. The resultant mechanical stresses in the skin are of smaller values _han the fatigue limit or the limit of cyclic strenKth , while those stresses arising in the ice layer are sufficient to effectively destroy the bond, resulting in ice shedding.
[n order to avoid large deformations, the electroimpulse method uses a nonccntact remote action such as electronic induction. To decrease power required, the system uses short power impulses followed by prolonged time intervals to recharge electric capacitors. Optimizing the shape of the impulse also decreases the power consum_ption. For optimum efficiency the capacitor discharge time is controlled as a funczion of the natural' frequency of the skin and is usually set to be less than one-fourth of the natural time period. By establishing a sharp wave-front pulse of ener_F, in the electromagnetic (inductor) cot1, the skin is rapidly displaced and caused to vibrate at its own frequency. }_x_dm_n displacement occurs at one- fourth of the period; also, the ice must be shed while the skin is accelera- tulg to its ma-xinmm rate during this period• The power requirement for the electroLT_ulse _'stem is about i/i0 of that required for conventional ice protection _v -_ • _ s_ms, and is discussed in this section under "Ice Protection System Penal _es.

FfEare il, Electrot-zr:ulse <v<¢em .-_tails, Re-: : i The chordwise and span_ise spacing location of the inductors is extremely iJmportant. The inductors should be :_unted along the span of wing or stabilizer at intervals of 20 to 40 inches (500 to i000 mm). If the ribs are closer together tha_ this interval range, then an inductor should be mounted at every rib spacing. The shorter the span or the closer the ribs the more sharply the rigidity of the structare increases. As a result, the require- ments for effectiveness of the inductor increase; also, a thicker skin is required because the stresses increase accordingly. The inductors should preferably be me mted between the rib_. However, it is convenient to use the ribs for mounting the inductor bracket. A loss in efficiency, occurs when the ribs absorb a portion of the induced vibration amplitude _i_ich is measured in fractions of a millimeter.
The electroimpulse deicing system concept ;s still in the research and development stages in this countr}/ with very. little information to form a data base.
Laboratory tests have been conducted (see reference 55) to check the efficiency, _rsatility, and possibility of future application of the electro- L_ulse deicing system, in tXis test prcgrar_., a c_tilever (horizontal] beam was set up, part of _hich was covered by ice or a specific mixture of mortar whose properties _L_alated those of ice. Subsequently d_,mnuc loadings were applied at variotm distances from the be:_n end and the pattern in which the ice or mortar failed was observed. Parameters affecting the ice or mortar failure, such as beam length, distance from impact (knductor_, layer thick- mess, .md temperature of ice were measured and recorded. A szmple theory for static beam loading _s developed.
_e tests performed were principally concerned with the mechaJLic5 of crack formation amd failure of ice or mortar deposit. Since the principal concern was not the operation of the impttlsive deicing system, impact Id\_amic) loadir_g ',,ase,._ioyed _or deicing instead of inductor devices. A miler'areof mortar was used rather than ice in most cases, becaase it was a more convenient .,_aterial to ase during the tests, not retluiring refrigeration with propertie_ _,hich do not depend trpon a_mbient ter@erature.
!he naLn purpose of the L._pulsive loading of the bem_ ior on an aircraft outer skin_ is to induce a t_oxn_ral wave which wi\i transmit some sort of ener_' capable of removtng or breal, in_ the ice on the surface. The flexutal wave is believed to be made up of two other _ave t)pes: .i) a shear _,ave transmitted by shear deformations, _d i21 a dilatation wave prepogated by me,ms of rotation of cross-section about the bemm' neutral :txis. _he sheaf and dilatation waves are purelv transient phenomena and at [east 1!) reflec- tion_ of the two ?roi_agated _,aves occur before the first aode of ;'ibrat:on i:- estabi:s).ed. _ce :,ill ',L'<L_I].L', b:eak ,hl::ng the trL_-,sient pe:isd nn_ is of:- ;,her, v:bratio,_ on tr,e bear'_ are _et _,, so that the vib:'atiens are ro, t involved in _he initial fakir:re of the ice, a/thou_h the inert:a[ effect3 "an inasten the ,_ltimate :'e_ova[ of the Lee.
The tests indicates that where there were cracks in the mortar caused by static loading, significantly higher L._pulses were required for initial removal of the mortar (Joel. The mortar _ould absorb some of the wave energy, by not letting it _ally transmit through the empty spaces of the cracks. [t must be rememb_ered, then, that the type of ice accumulated on a wing at higher speed, particularly a highly swept wing, also has highly' irregular shapes (lobster tail effect) ,with gaps which can absorb a signifi- cant proportion of the wave propogated through the skins.
The principles of the electroimpulse system are basically sound, and they are not new _ince some sheet-metal-forming processes have used the same principles for ,man,-years ireference 102). Howe_r, the main attraction is that the electrounpulse system affords an electromechanical method of shedding ice. which means the skin surface does not have to be heated above freezing - as is the case for electrical or bleed air systems. As a result, the electroL,_pulse system operates almost independently" of outside air temperature LC&T] and Lh'C. However, there is some purpose (in different U_'C conditions] in changing the cycle tiane so as to allow some ice mass to form on the surface before it is shed. [t is implicit in this ty_pe of system that they do not have the mmback or insufficient heat problems which plague many present deicing systems.
Becatuse of the potential merit of the etec=rei,._pulse type system and the interest sheba by" various organizatibms, it is recommended that further research and development activity, be conducted to explore, in _.Dre detail, the tee!melee" of this system. Practical test models representing current and pKmned airfoil conflfaration_ and fabricated with the proper m_ter[als and desism tecba%ques shot_ld be tested Ln an icing tunnel to validate the ?erfomance of the system.

_2 lce-2ie!ectric _L;T_Ce ;vave_zJe. R_,f tl3 microwave energy will be able to penetrate the ice layer and be totally reflected at the ice-air interface (figure iS). The ice layers containing the microwave ener_" will be subject to dielectric heating by dissipation of the microwave energy and will experience a temperature rise. Only the ice will experience appreciable heating, the ice itself providing the mechanism for converting microwave energy to heat. In the conventional therm_l deicing system, electrical energy is converted to heat in resistive heater pads that l'ine the entire leading edge of the airfoil; sometimes the entire leading edge of the airfoil is heated, including portions where there may not be an.%" ice.
The high efficiency of the microwave deicer depends upon the following considerations : I. The microwave technique provides a means of efficiently directing ener_" only to the existing ice. The airfoil itself is not heated.
[f there is no ice, there _ill be only minor heating of the airfoil leading edge.
2. _.e use of hard, smooth, erosion-resistant dielectric coatings, such as aRunina, significantly reduces the strength of the ice adhesion _ond, resliting in lower _icrowave power requirements.
5. Hicrowa_ heating is very rapid and is localized to the vicL-ity of the adhesion layer. The rate a_ which the ice is heated can be controlled by ,nulsin_. The loss of heat conduction is a relatively slow process so that there i_ a very rapid net gain in heat.

A literanure search :,_zdedurLng the feasibility studies of reference ILS revealed that this sFecifio information was not presently directly available.
The less t_._ent of the ice _hich acc_lates on the leading edges of an airfoil is differ_Lt than that of st_'tically .Crop,n,pure, single crystal ice !reed for scient[fi_ FuG_ses. Some of the si_n_ificant differences are the fo i low/'_g: i. ihfrozen Water <iontcnt Juper-ceoled Water Content" 2. Air Content _. _Ite of Jro;,t!', The most signific_t parmneter affecting the loss tangent of the ice is the percent of unfrozen water content. The loss tangent is defined as follows for any dielectric material: E r' tan 6 = ¢, -- Loss Tangent of _terial Heated e" = Imaginary part of dielectric constant c' = Real part of dielectric constant The dielectric cor_stant is made up of the imagina_, and real parts.
Depending upon the t>]_e of ice and the frequency considered, the loss tangent can vary several orders of magnitude. Since the power required to heat any dielectric material [usJ_lly expressed in watts per unit voltme) is directly proportional to the loss tangent, it is extremely important to k-now the less tangent associated with the characteristics of ice accumulated on a protected component, Loss tangent tests have been conducted in the laboratory (reference 87] with various t>-pes of composition o£ ice which were supposed to represent natural Icing and cover the full r_nge of tan _ e.rpeeted.

ICEPHOB IC _tATERIALS
[cephobic coatings have been a subject of investigation for the past 20 years. ._ny attempts have been made to fLnd a lightweight, inexpensive substance that can easily be applied to aerodynamic surfaces which would either prevent the formation of ice or reduce the surface adhesion force to the extent that aerodynamic and/or dynamic forces would remove the ice (reference 60). A fundamental requirement in any research program to find an opt_ icephobic coating material, is the knowledge of what causes ice adhesion and how to minimize it. Factors that play a part "in the adhesion of ice to a surface are as follows: i. Van Der Waals Forces 2. Hydlogen Bonding 3. Netting 4. Rouglmes s 5. Contamina_.ts Including Air) 6, interface _hemistF:" ". Contact Angle _educing the adhesion of ice requires reducing substrate wettability makhlg it more hydrophobic, his is accomplished by reducing its reactivity and surface forces, making it mere inert mld mere incompatible with water.
Also, the resulting higher contact angle makes it m, ore hkely to occlude air at the Lnterface. Air at the interface reduces the bending and produces stress concentration_ which reduce adhesion.

.a/though fluorocarbons have low ice adhesion (much lower than metals), teflon (PTFE) for example, under repeated freezing v.wcles or high droplet impact velocities, produces stronger ice adhesion than expected. Ibis occurs because: C1) high impact of droplet penetrates into the material pores to anchor ice, (2) the soaking changes the contact angle, and (3) during repeated Ereeaings, the micro air bubbles are removed, thu5 adding bonding strength.
.another difficulty u-ith low ice adhesion materials like polyethylene, teflon, or silicones is their softness or creep. Poor abrasion resistance may preclude their use on aircraft _ere there is high u_pact and wear e.vposure.
In order to obtain low ice adhesion and induce ice release, certain conditions must exist which include the followung: i. Low energy surfaces of solid substrate (or applied coatings).
2. ._,osence of high energy., contamination of the surface.
3. Presence of low energT cont_tien to impair bonding.
4. "cclusion of air to impair bonding and promote stress concentrations.
5. (_tirnt_.. deKree _f surface roughness to encourage alr entrapment.
O. Substrate construction or properties that promote generation of stress and subsequent adhesive failure of the ice.
-. Appropriate stresses.
The appropriate stresses for initiating and propagating adhesive failure ,as given in reference oO'l include the followung: I. Single shocks from direct mechanical impact.
2. Flexing of the member/coma?onent in normal use.

The implication is that some external stress is needed to initiate cracking, etc., for ice shedding to occur. This requires that the ice sensitive member or component be designed for natural tqexing or be provided with an ice protection system which is a combination of an icephcbi¢ material and a mechanical, electrical, or thenml system. The best use of icephobic materials in combination with other ice protection systems is a subject £er an icing research pro[ram.
Icephobic mmterials should be investigated to determine which candidate _teria!s exhibit the characteristics _:_st desirable for application to fLxed wing light transport and general aviation aircraft, such as: I. Low cost.

ASSES_MF.\T OF \IRCKkFT iCING INSTRL_GNTATiON - F_XISTING AN_D UNDF_R DF%_LOP_fl=?cr Mrcraft structural icing is one of the major weather related hazards to general aviation. This lm:ard can be greatly reduced if the aircraft are provided with devices that will do the following: i. Warn the pilot of icing conditions or give _m indication of initial icing before the pilot wo,.id otherwise be able to detect it.
2. Give the pilot an accurate indication of the icing rate or intensity, if he chooses to remain in the iclng conditions.
Another requirement is for the quantitative measurement of the various icing parameters which stems f_om the F.aA certification requirement for demonstration of the aircraft to operate safely in icing conditions. To fulfill thls requirement, it is necessary to obtain quantitative data on flight parmueters such as airspeed, altitude, CAT, etc., and on icing conditions such as liquid water content, droplet size and distribution, and ice acctm_,lation (size and-shape). .klso, qualitative data on aircraft hand- ling, such as stability and control are required.
An assessment of the icing instrumentation presently used or under development by various industries and Government agencies, both _, home and abroad, has been accomplished through a review of the literature. The doct_ents containing icing instrt_.entation information were selozted by interrogatio_t of the colorer file for such data (see Appendix C - Comments Table on [nstr"_._ments). The extracted Lnformation has been stm_arized in table _'XI. The table contains a list of icing instr'_entation by name, agency source, and/or inventor. The type of principle of operation is sho_'n for each instrl_ent as data have been found in the literature. The instru- ment utilization, the measured iclng parameter(s], _md the problem areas associated with the instp_nent which may limit its accuracy or its utilita- tion are given where .known. The lack of a check re:irkin the problem area coltman does not necessarily mean there are no problems with an instrt_nent, it can mean no &tta _,ere available.
There are two basic methods of detecting and assessing icing in fli._ht and all icing instr_nents fall into these two categories <reference 33_.
The _irst method is to allow ice to acc_n_late cn a s_fitable probe _md then detect its presence ,ice accretion instruments_. ,-he second method _s to sense the atmospheric ¢onditlons conducive to icing and then to continuotLsly e\,-aIt,.lte _ts likely severity i Lnferential or thermal detectors;.

I _otlt _n_ 'lJ_ L_ _ Lnd_ra • Ix x ix Ice accretion instr_nents include rotating cylinders s.nd discs, stationary and vibrating _ds, pressure orifices, beta radiation probes, etc.
The accretion method is the simplest but it does have the limitation that at high LWC and high subzero temperatures the latent heat that is released as the ,_ater freezes raises the temperature sufficiently to prevent all the water from freezing. If the instrunent operates above this "Ludlam Limit" (freezing fraction less than one), it will underestimate the LWC. The accretion probe must be deiced, usually thermally when a predetermined amount of ice has formed. This is followed by a "dead time" for the deice and subsequent cooldown periods before the next reading can be taken.
At first glance, it would appear that the accretion meter is the _st direct detection and _rning device, but there is a wide _ange of icing conditinns where there is no simple correlation between the impingement rate and the potential accretion rate and the form of the ice. Considering all of the variables of catch efficiency, a_._ient temperature, L_E, and airspeed, etc., the accretion t_e _nstrument will give fairly acc arate readings in low water content air at re: ratures below -it_,°C(14=F).
The thermal or inferential ice detection and LWC instruments utilize a heated probe or wire, exposed to the alrlqow, that is either maintained at constant ter_perature or has a constant heating power applied. The power required or the temperature _ittained can be used to determine the L%_C, whoa the convection cooling is accolmted for. inferential instrt_ents have the advantage, in that they depend solely on the evaporation of water and temperature measurement and do not suffer from the limitations bnposed on accretion instruments due to acc_nulatien of stray deposits. However, instruments such as the Jo_cn-Wiili_T5 instrJment, used widely over the years, _Iderestimate LWC when droplets _ch lar_er than I00 microns are present. Inaccuracies occur in turbulent -.'lowin ascertatnin_ the _unt of convective cooling.
A third method of detectu_g _nd a_zessing icing in flight and in icin_ WlIld ttmnels fvr airframe stw,_cture or engine tests, uses c]olld particle sizing instrt_nents such as the Knollenberg system. These instruments measure the ilg_L _cattered by a [..article as it passes through :i laser be:_n.
The resultant si_T, al is a f_mction of the particle diamete_ and is used to generate a cotmt in one of the fifteen 3 micron-_i.Je size c_5annel_ in the a_xially scattering spectrorLeter prube. L-his instnzment measures droplets in the 3 to 15 micron range. FartieLes in the iC to 300 mzcro:_ JK_meter r.an_2_ are neasured by one of the Particle Measuring Syste,_, Inc. optical array probes _ref_rence 56_. 7his in_t_ent uses fifteen 1_2 _cTon-_,ide _ize channels for co_ting the particles. By electronically inteKrating the :r_er of particles and the _i-es of particles, an e_tima_e of the i.hC cr_ be _nade _,ith the Knollenberg t>l_e ef instr_ner_tation.
The majority of the ice detector and particle me_suring/counting
instruments that fall into this third category are used in icing wind tunnels
or engine icing test cells. However,som_of the laser (ASP)systera_such
as used by Meterorology Research, Inc. (_I) are small enoughto he adapted
to aircraft for use in certification or in meteorology research data
gathering. Thesesystemsare connectedto a complete systemwhich may
include altitude and te_perature measuringinstrtm_.ntation as well as the
data recording system. While this Kind of instrumentation is excellent for
aircraft certification progr_ to qualify them for flight into knownicing
conditions, it is muchtoo large and expensive for standard aircraft
equipmentfor ice detection and intensity determfu_tion for pilot warning
pin-poses.
.Assessment of icing instrumentation is complicated by the fact that different groups or different researchers cite such different opinions on effectively the same kind of lnstr_nentatlon. In reference 157, experience with oil slide data for measuring droplet sizes in the 10-S0 micron r_nge resulted in data too large by a factor of 1.8. Errors were due to evaporation of small drops, coalescence of drops [small ones into big ones), and Impact or flattening errors. In reference 33, oil slide droplet sampling gave repeatable, stable samples such that there was no reason to doubt the accarac'/ of the oil slide system. It was $'_ated that the reason that none of the normal problem5 attached to oil slide m, easurements were encountered, was due to the choice of oil and the method of operation. The oil used was a Shell DenU__ 250 or a straight _tineral oil <_zj_ 250. The procedure was to e._tend the slide for only 20 seconds, expose it for i/I0 to 1/20 of a second and then retain the slide in the conditioned cabin of the airplane.
Considerable research remains to be done with respect to icing instru- mentation technology.. This research includes the follo_,ing: i, For exlstin_ instrumentation, determine the practical or optimum range of conditions for the instrt_ent, its percentage of uncertainity, and the proper operational procedures.
Develop new icing parameter instrumentation such as the laser hologram _ and three dimensional systems with the associated electronics t,hat may be used in icing ,_ind tunnels. For this use, slze and co_plexzty are not [Lmating factors and the intent is the development of equipment that can be used as a standard for calibration of s,-vailerand tess ex-pensi_ instrumentation. There is no s_m_dard at present.
_?evelop small accretion _.d Lnfe_ential icing instruments that c;in be calibrated in Lcin_ t_me!s a_;aunst the sta_dard equipment with the desired hi_b level of confidence. The Lnev?ensive small instP_nents can be the sultable Inst7Jment5 needed by _eneral avlat ion aircraft.

The instrumentation required for airborne utilization should include
instrtm_nts for measuringliquid water content, outside air
temperature andpossibly meanwater droplet size. kbwever, in the
case of the latter parameter, it is not necessary to know the droplet distribution for aircraft icing effects evaluation. A/so required for the airborne instrumentation which will be used for supplying data for foreCasting, is the recording and transmitting equipment. Development of this equipment is required right along with the sensing equipment if weather stations are to be provided with the required data base for current up-to-the-minute quantitative foreCasts.
ASSESg_Vr .%'_q) REC0_N_DATIONS FOR ICING FACILITIES (TASK 8) NASA recently completed a survey of aircraft icing simulation facilities in North .America, providing for each faciiicy its operational parmmeter ranges and size restrict.ons. [The results of this survey and a similar skm_nary from reference 150 for the European facilities are provided in Appendix E.) Each North ._nerican facility was classified by NASA as one of four possible types: (a) wind tunnel, L'b) engine test facility, (c) low velocity facility, or (d) tanker facility. The advantages and disadvantages of each" of these categories were previously discussed in the section on "=_rperimental Prediction _thods."
The wind tunnel capabilities presented in the above su7%'ey indicate that test chamber slzes va_" from 0 inches to only 4.3 feet, when ._%5A tacilities are excluded: These size restrictions limit testing ip these tunnels to instru- nents, small components, or _cale mode[_ of larger air, raft components. Larger co_onenzs and full scale aircraft will have to be tested in the K-kSA Icing Research Tunnel [[KT% or the rehabilitated .Altitude Wind Tunnel IAI_T3. Only six wind tunn_'l_ other than the IRT and A%_[ are listed, ind of these, only three tlLockheed, Boeing, and N]TC-Canada% appear appropriate for testung of small co_:onents or scale models of aircraft. :is a result, in addition to size restrictions, availability of these t_mels to indtLst_." becomes a problem.
It becomes increasingly appar=.'t that in order to obtain the wind ttmnel data base required to solve general a_iation aircraft problems, the _\SA icing '_Ind tunnels will ,have to be util ted to a Ereater degree, and improve- merits will have to be made to e.rpand the applicabklity of these tunnels, _ncrease :he accuracy of test measurenents, and reduce the turnarotmd time ber_een tests. These facilities are discussed in *mre detail below, :ncluding ::eeded instrumentation, and recomm, endations for usage.
:_eta_l< of the existin< );q<..% he:.i5 :\ltitt_de :_ind Ttmnei u'e ,,:o_,n in ficu:'e .'9. P:e,,osed rehabilitation _difi_atkons indicate that the \;¢: '.,ill have ::,e !arfe _!;_:['er_ :'or testi:'_ cor_lete or larae secri_n_ _f [02 u <D # / I03 aircraft. One test chmnber is 43 feet in diameter and the other is 20 feet in diameter. The altitude versus velocity envelopes of the _ different test sections are sho_n in figure 30. The altitude capabilities of the facility are sea level to 55,000 feet. This capabili?/ is applicable to both test sections since they are in the same loop. The velocity of the 20 ft diameter section is roach 0.8 mm_inun and the velocity of the 45 ft diameter section approaches 60 knots maxi;m_n. An overlay of the general aviation operational envelope on the Ahq characteristics en%_lope is shown in figure 31. The characteristics of the Z0 ft diameter section completely contain the _eneral aviation envelope. The 45 ft diameter section characteristics are shown to be outside of the flight envelope of general aviation, but are applicable to ground operation and certain aspects of landing and takeoff oper._.t ions.
A future option to the rehabilitation desig_n of the AWT is to provid_ a 90,000 horsepower drive meter unit for the 26 ft diameter fan which Ln effect triples the power of the smaller drive motor. The "hack leg" of the tunnel wil] have a sinDple rotor whirl rig for testing large scale rotors at speeds of appro×imateiy 60 knots. An overlay of these characteristics on the genera/ a_iation envelope ;'figure 33] shows that most of the envelope below- LO,000 feet is included in the envelope if the previsions of this option are added.
[t is understood from a recent conversation with ._ASA Lewis Icing Research Center staff members, that the q0,000 horsepower drive motor unit will be a future proposed modiflcation _o the facility. _e velocity in the !0 ft dianeter section will be sonic for the ma.xunum power condition.
In an effort to realize maxLmum efficiency with regard to the ener_" requirements of the AI_T operation, it is recermnended that simultaneous testing in the 43 ft section and in the 20 ft test section b _ considered whenever [t is posslble and practical to schedule them in that way. Thi_ will requlre considerable planning and coordination under the direction of ._ki& personnel, -_o that tunnei conditions will be suitable to the require- ments of both icing test programs.
The A',_T 10 ft di&T.eter test section with it broad range of altitude and velocity condltions will have the capabilities required for icin¢ tests or: a variety of _<oncral aviation aircraft ice sensitive structure and cov4_onents and assoclated Kenera/ research. 7he followin_ are representatlve of the t_pes of test3 envisioned for the t_.o test -<ections.

_SA ICING RESKZR_ _J_I£L (IRT) The .NASA Lewis Ic_ng Research Tunnel, which is the largest icing tunnel (6 feet by 9 feel) in the United States, has been used for testing sections of f'_Lll scale aircraft st_acture, full scale small components, sad scale models of many ice sensitive components such as the following: i.

In addition to the ice sensitive components that have been tested by
various aircraft companiesin conjuction with .NASA, manyother basic research
programson icephobics, ichng instrumentation, ice protection systems, and
other aspects of general icing technology,have been conducted by ,NASA over
the past years in the IRT.
The IRT is a closed-return atmospheric ty_e t_mnel with rectangular cross-sections except at the 20 ft diameter drive fan in the return leg. ]he four corners have turning vanes and the contraction section has a 14 to 1 area ratio. The test section is 6 feet high, 9 feet wide, and 20 feet long.
_tax_num speed for the en_pty test section is 300 miles per hour, creating a test section pressure equivalent to about 3,000 feet altitude. The floor of the tunnel contains a _ountlng plate located on a turn-table which is nearly 9 feet in diameter. The tunnel airflow may be refrigerated to -15°F or lower, if necessary. Calibrated icing clouds nay be generated with liquid water contents from about i/2 to 2 grams/c_bi¢ meter with volu_ne mean droplet diam, eters from roughly i0 to 20 microns. The drop size distribution is approximately a Langmuir "D" t_e. The iclng cloud is Lmiform in inten__ity un the center of the test sectlon over a region about 3 feet high by 5 feet wide.
_le IRT is operated by K_A personnel, but the company testing in the facility" must build the model and supply a test crew to install it, r-_n the tests, record the chta, and remove the test equipment at the conclusion of the tests. The company must provide its own data recordung and data process ulg systems.
An L._rcvement in these conditions wou/d be to have N_KSA provide the data recording and processing equipment. This _,ould inch_ie stanchrdi:ed temperature recording equipment for the standard thernocet©le materials ne.,-c..all >- used in the temperature range of icing and ice protection systems.
Pressure measur:ng equipment .md the data recording equipment for reasonable ranges a_nd nu-abers of _arameters could be provided _,hid_ '_uld simplify the loglst,_cs probier_ and help the preplanni_g of many of the test prograc,s.
Any special:zeal tnstn=entation should still be supplied by the company" doing the test, the s_me as before. _" providing data recording and automated data llO
reauction systems, test efficient" would be greatly improved. The result
_uld be to simplify test plannLng, reduce setup time, and increase
conveniencein operation during the actual testing periods.
The liquid water content and droplet size of the atmospheric icing
clouds provided in the IRT are controlled by the w_ter and air pressures in the spray nozzles and the air velocity in the wind tunnel. The tunnel and spray rig Fmve been calibrated for combinations of LWC, mean dropl_t diametenand airspeed, and _raphs have been drawn so nbat other conditions can be determined. Wheneeer a test is conducted, the required pressures and water flow rates of the spray system are calculated from equations and graphs based on the desired icing parm_eters and the calibration of the tLmnel.
Individual measurement of the icing parameters using any of the commonly accepted instrumentation, for evoke test run, is generally considered urmecessary for these facilities.
Improvements to the .NASA IRT was one of the subjects addressed by the industry/Government questionnaire. .&n evaluation of the suggested modifications and needs of the IRT to improve its utilization and efficiency are specifically ms follows: [. A large test section appro×£_ately 15 ft x 15 ft is required.
(lT, is could be the 20 ft diameter A_fF section.)
2. Increased range of liquid 'water content (at least the complete range of continuous icing as defined in FAR 2S, Appendix C).
3. Improved instrunentation (see Discn_ssions).

INSTRU_N_fATION REQUIRemeNTS FOR ICING P_S_kRCH The kind_ of test techniques and instrt_entation that should be avail- able for icing research are the kinds that are oriented towards gathering the information necessary to resolve problems. _ne ici_,g tunnels should have the condition control, instrumentation, test sample capacity. ,and other sophisti- cation to meet this purpose. Sufficient variation in instrumentation should be utilized such tAat the complete required range of para_eter values will be covered. Since no instrumentation exists today which can be considered as an industry, standard to measure all ranges of liquid water content and droplet size/distribution more ths_n one t>me of instrument for measuring these parameters _ii be required in an icing tunnel to increase its efficien O- and flexibility.
Conventional instrt_nentaticn is required to measure temperatures, pressures, and drag and hft forces. Specialized instrumentation is required to measure total pressure and temperature in _he icing environment. Heated calibrated probes are required for measuring total temperature and pressure° Different methods of photog_raphy should be provided for good visual coverage of the test model in the icing turanel test section. _Dtion pictures, television, and still photog_raphy provisions are required to record all ice deposits of interest on model _unted in position in the tunnel.
Special portholes should be provided for photographic coverage of inaccessi- ble areas. Telephoto lens and wide angle lens should be available for those photos and situations requiring such equipment.
Along with conventional equipment such as m_11tiple ©'finders and droplet o_i slides, _m inline laser holo_raphy system shotlld be available for measuring liquid water content m_d droplet size for both calibration purF_oses and act_ml icing tests.
A large m_etmt of test data will result from all the measurements dis_ed above. [n nrder to assinliate the data successfully, it is L_port_It that data reduction be accomplished quickly :rod efficientiF, to serve as a tool for test direction during tke course of any given test serles.
..%n aut_m._lted &ata reduction s','stcn, should be considered for this purpose.
TESTING TPO_NIQU_.S
Testing techniques _ an icing wind tunnel should ensure that the air and water supplies be automatically controlled so as to provide the desired icing conditions (i.¢., mm_In_m conthluoUS or m_ximum intermittent) while keeping the droplet diameters nearly cons;ant (droplet size distribution) for warying periods of time. Techniques should also ensure that the main flow of the tunnel is saturated so that evaporation will not modify, the droplet diameters which could in turn cause ice a¢Ctmm/ations not representative of the set conditions. Continuous monitoring of the tunnel air humidity, during icing tests may be accomplished through the use of automatic dew point hv%_ometers in the test section. This .has been accomplished in the SI-5_ \bd_ e Wind Tunnel (reference 23). Humidity affects the heat and mass transfer from droplets in the spray as well as the heat and mass trznsfer from the surfaces subjected to ice acc_xilation.
KECC_DED USAGE OF .NASA ICING _I.N_ TUN_]_L F_ILITIES The .NASA icing research tunnels should be used to provide whatever test data are needed to solve the problems of general aviation and light transport aircraft. High priority problems should be attacked first, but imy have to be postponed ,until the A_T is rehabilitated (about 1987_ if large scale testing i_ required.
The literature search _nd review, and the ,government/industry survey identified about eleven areas of needed research which _irectly require testing in the icin_ wind t_nnei_. Additional testing would also be required to support other research areas for verification of newly developed ice protection svste_ and anal}_tical prediction _ethods. Powerplant icing tests _'ould be pursued at the engine test facilities.
Some of the high pr.iority items identified include generation of icing data for the newer airfoils in existence today, and the aircraft penalties which accnle from this ice buildup. Yhe N,_SA LeRC facilities can be used to provide such _asured ice buildup and the resulting performance degradations- Alternatively testing at _iA LeRC could be used to define the ice accretion and shape. ?hen si_milated ice, based cn the icing tunnel resuits, could be .... . _ "_ - _ in any one of a variety of the dry" used to test alrtoll pertormmt_e et_eut_ , " air wind tunnels throughout the country, this might be a preferable approach, since the _str_,ents for measurement ot aerod>-namic drag, lift, pitching moments, etc., are readily available at the latter facilities.
._other approach _,_uld be tc use the NASA LeRC facilities to obtain measured eerfor-_nnce data on airdoils with real or simulated ice addretlon5.
FiiKht tests of aircr:_ft utilizin_ the sm_ airfoil and simulated ice _ accretion ;,ill _rovide qtmlitative performance data from pilot results for cor_arison and i_'erification of overall effects of ice accretion. These co_par[_,cns will _rovide the desirable levels ot confidence _o aircr,_:t Ferform,._,c e characteristics and certification Furp oses.
To study the effects of airframe and nacelle ice shedding on engine
performing.co, a combineduse of _kSALeRC and existing large englne te_t
facilities might be appropriate. The large engine test facilities in the
U. S. (mainly the AEDC test facilities in Tennessee)have not oniy increased
in size but ]_ve modernizedtheir state of operation, including instrumenta-
tion for measuringLWC anddroplet size/distribution. Thesefacilities are
used primarily for engine icing tests for full scale engines. NASA LeRC%
AI_Tfacilities would be used to define the nscelle inlet ice accretion
characteristics and the amountof ice shed from the airframe which would be
ingested by the engines. The AEDC test cells would be used to define engine ingestion characteristics, inJet anti-icing/deicing system operation, etc. Integration of icing test programs with more than one facility could '_tim_tel}- lead to more standardized icing instrtm_ntation for measuring the si1_ulated cloud icing parameters.
As part of any program to develop ice accretion analysis models, it would be necessary to provide actual icLqg data for support and verification of the models, it would be advantageous to use the _kSA icing wind tunnels for thls purpose due to the capabilities and controllability of wind tulmel conditions. Controlled testing of subscale and full scale components in conjunction with model development will assure consistency and accuracy, of the restdt_.
Scaling effects shouid also be addressed in the NASA icing tunnels, especially after rehabilitation of the ,%%_q. Scale model testing in the IRT would be verified by full scale tests in the ANat. The data _Duld then be used to determine appropriate scaling parameters to improve icing predictions based on scale-model testing or anal}_tical models.
Horizontal tail stall, wing-tail interaction, and ice shedding from full scale structural components are research areas for which a large, rehabilitated AI_T would be ideal. Due to safety considerations, it _Duld be [mwise to test for these effects in natural ice. It would also be uneconomical, for reasons previously discussed, and control of the degree of icing _uld be up to nature.
These and a number of other icing wind t_-Lnel test programs are discussed in more detail in the subsequent section. It is important that KASA utilize its facilities to provide ice accretion data for new airfoils, to verify the development of new or improved prediction models, and " assess the aero- dynamic and safety penalties due to icing on wing, empennage, combinations, or due to ice shedding into engine inlets.

11- The promising lower weight _md lower power features of new ice protection system concepts (such as the electroi_mpulse or microwave svstems) _ly be attained only after a considerable dollar investment into the feasibility studies and developmental tests required to produce protct}Te systems. This investment should be compared with the investment required to reduce weight and power of conventional/proven systems or to reduce their installation, reliability, and maintenance costs. However, this comparison cannot be made with confidence until enough research work hss been accomplished on the new concepts, and on old system improvements, to obtain the data necessary to make the required trade studies. To this end, research effort is suzgested in the research program plan for conducting tradeoff studies to evaluate the ice protection systems best suited to light transport and general a_iation _pe aircraft.
It should be noted that in some cases, considerable savings could be produced by demonstrating that an ice protection system is not required, For oxalic, if research on the aerodynamic penalties associated with ice accretion on the unprotected leading edges of the wing and empennage of an aircraft, coupled with the operational characteristics of the aircr,_t, showed that the need for ice protection of these components is not required, then considerable savings could be realized.

ICING IXX_XSI_" DEFINITIONS Current definitions of icing intensities were established by the Naticna! deordinating Cor.ruttee for Aviation Ln Feb_:arv 19o4 and adopted by ti_e Subcommittee on _eteorolo_ica] Services in i9o8 for reciprocating engine, straight wing aircraft.

This technique is intended to be an i_rovement on the Air Force Skew T-Log P Therm_d)_amic DiagT_un ,_thod for existence of icing conditions and their intens it)'.
Both the literature search and the survey questionnaire r_sults indicated that there is much dissatisfaction with the current definitions of icing intensity. It is felt that further efforts such as discussed above are warranted, and a research item ha_ been included in the prOgram plan which addresses the problem. It is the desire of o,11 ¢oncern£-d that new definitions will be useful in tr_z_sitioning the currently qualitative icing intensity definitions to qumntitative values ;_'hichapply to individual aircraft.

At pr_ent, one of the major hurdles to overcome in changing to quantita- tive forecasting will be in convincing the federal agenQ" _cordinating and controlling meteorological sea-ices that this is the desirable course to take.
New programs in icing instrumentation research to obtain instruments for me_surLng the t_Te of data which aid5 quantitative forecasting is a step in the right direction.
INSTRU_._R_ATION Although significant _dvances in instrumentation tec]miques and design have already tmken place, accepted methods of measurement still differ by more thaJ_ plus or minus Z5 percent in the determination of basic parameters such as liquid water content and dr_p size in ground test facilities. Yhe problem is much more difficult in aircraft t-light installations due to the limited space available and the usual cost restraints. There is no standard instrt_nentation of such proven accuracy that it may be used to calibrate other instrumentation in all r_.nges of par,_neter values.
_rom the assessment of the literature concerning both the current instrumentation available _nd that which is under development, there is still a requirement for much research to be accom{31ished in this field. There is a need for the develep_nt o_ accurate, continuous operation instrumentation for ,-e, asurin_ LWC and droplet si:e and dlstribution in icing wind tunnels for all rxnges of air velocity, altitude, and temperature conditions, l]_e development of this t_e of instrumentation will not only allow for the calibration of _he icin_ t_mnel spray equipment, but will allow the tu, anel to be used for cali- bration of oliver t)q_es of instrm_entation measuring the store parameters, detect st_tie changes in spray system conditions net normally found _ithout instrm:_entatien, :rod provide the capability of testing _pray systems for use with -_'artker aircraft or other icxn._ ttmnels, etc. The development of instmm_entatien ,._itha h[,<h confidence level for use in icinK wind ttmnels will lead to the development of smaller, less extensive instm_nentation for airborne u-_e, _is will restilt from the capability to calibrate the less e\pensive equipment with confidence and increased kmowled.<e, Development of hi_hl>" accurate and,'or calibrated airborne icing fnstn_- mentation will facll!tate the establishment of qtmmtitative iciA_ intensity data considered extremely desirable, [f not ,._mdatory, for h_rovin_ fcin_ forecasts, revifln< re_ul.ltions for flvin:_ in kr, o_n ici::_ by _eneral aviation l,.rcraft. _md _:_?rovin_ b]fo::nation for :qi;ht decisions by fnd_vldual ?ilots -LN.._] >,'7 : C-\I. 11!D_X_S F_oth the l=terature search ._nd the results of the su:-_'ev _uest[om_aire indicated that the m.k_orft Y of the femoral ,_viatlcn hldust,_" utii_c the ,;k\ 311S-I doct_.,cnt a:; one of thc'r most [,,-pertunt references '_,_th respect to ]din< te¢hr.elc<v, j:'ec:f:cailv, it is one of their _)st i_,o:'t.mt reference_ ',_tt!: iJO respect to ice accretion prediction and ice protection system design.
However, questionnaire responses indicated that .A.DS-_ technology needs updating and i_provement in many areas including fluid systems ice shape predictions, new airfoil shapes, etc. Beyond ADS-4, a small number of specific doct_ents were mentioned by number or author in the survey answers.
These are listed in the su_na_ of the survey/questionnaires in Appendix D.
The majority of those surveyed possess or desire co_puter codes for ice accretion and/or ice protection analysis. In _eneral, these codes are considered proprietary by the company who developed them. The indication is that the codes developed for ice accretion prediction and for heat transfer analysis are all very sL_lilar in nature and essentially contain the following elements: I. T_D-dimensional potential f.ow field analysis.
I. Two-dimensional droplet trajectory analysis based on 15-20u droplet for ice accretion (or h_ngmuir distribution), 1O-50u droplet for impingement length, etc.

This code includes ice shedding times _md simplified shed ice trajectories. A few com_anies have tec.kniques develooed for predicting ice shapes.

l-'l [n li_:ht of the proprietary nature of the existing codes and the expressed desire of the industry, for access to such codes, research efforts should be undertaken by .NASA to improve the availability of existing and new codes for industry use. This may be done by .NASA acting as a clearing house for currently available codes and/or developing new codes in-house or through contracted efforts.
ICING WIND TUN%_L TESTING It is the concensus of opLnion of many experts in the field that icing wind ttmnel testing has been and still is the best method for determining ice accretion rates and ice shapes. The icing parameters can be carefully controlled within the tunnel and testing can generally be conducted conveni- ently without too ..manyrestrictions on weight, power, inst_mmentation used, etc., except for the size limits of the facility itself. Therefore, much of the research program is directed towards the use of the .NASA IRT and a refurbished .%I_T to obtaining the icing data that meets the needs of the general aviation and light transport industry.
Scale _odels have alwa>'s presented a problem with regard to scaling factors to be used for all of the icing parmmeters. If scale model test results could be effectively applied :o full-scale components, large savings in tbr, e and cost _otdd result by eliJ_nating the need for expensive full-scale testing or flight testing in natural ice. Tests using new and current air- f_ils are therefore Lncluded in the program pl_ to research this area.
Tests are also proposed to evaluate the effects of ice accretion cn aLLxil_a_" inlets and cuz_'ed engine inlets. Other proposed icing wind tunnel tests include tqight centre[ surface flutter, wnng tail interaction, horizontal tail stall, and ice shedding c,haracteristics. Associated with the wind tunnel tests, .are investigations of the methods for ice simulation to be used in dr>" air testing.

The two areas listed first in the program plan concern instrtm*_ntation and meteorology. Both of these areas have already been discussed above, and their importance can be summarized thusly: (i) development of high/y accurate and/or calibrated instrumentation is required to establish quantitative icing intensity data for immediate use in forecasting, m_d to accurately quantify the results of the wind tunnel and flight testing outlined later in the program, and (2) meteorological effort3 are required in order to improve the accaracy and efficiency, of forecasting mad to utilize the i_proved instrumen- tation in gathering data which will update icing environment models which could allow increased aircraft utilization.
In the ne,rt area of research, icephobics develop_nt is shown as an ongoing effort. It i5 recommended.that icephobics research should be carried on at a moderate level umtil a promising icephobic _,aterial family is identified. At this point, research should be intensified to develop an ice- phobic that can be applied to wings, propellers, e_pennage, engine cowls, engine inlets, etc. l_hat is most attractive about an icephobic is that it co,_prises a '_passive" system which can easily be applied to existing aircraft, is low in weight, and hopefully, will be of low cost. [f a highly effective icephobic could be quickly developed, then the goal of increased aircraft utilization in icing environments would be more easily attainable.
,%s far as icing wind tunnel testing is concerned, the plan is laid out in order of the items which industry, felt are needed first, except that full- scale aircraft or large-3cale model testing is deferred until the ANT rehabil- itation is complete. The short term aeed__ are to provide icing data on the newer airfoils - both accL-ecion and pena/ty data. Wing-tail interactions, horizontal tail stall, and ice shedding research should utili:e the large wind ttmneh Scale model testing will require the use of both the [RT and the AWT, and if this research study is successful, it would allow future scale model test results to be applied to full-scale components with confidence, reducing the need for expensive and time conslm/ng full-scale testin_ or t-light testin_ in natural ice. Wind tunnel test results will _-Iso be used to validate anal}_tical .,_odelsdeveloped concurrently or after testing is completed.
Included umder ice protection syst._'r.-s is an effort to develop new systems such as those utili:ing microwave and electromagnetic impulse principles.
These t>_pes of systems are not read)" for application right now and will probably not be in universal lme for a good many )'ears. It has been estimated that it would take up to eight )'ears to fully develop a system such as the microwave s,:stem (reference 131%. However, because of the potentialb,' substantial payoffs to the class of ai_raft under study, _t _uld appear wise
to begin studying these systemsimmediately, carrying on their study into the
long term phase of the research plan. Results of initial developmentefforts
for these system would be availaDle for use in the systemstrade study effort
proposedlater in the program.
Short term researnh studies should be carried out in the areas of balance
horn design, boot fundamentals, improved waste engine heat utilization, etc.
There has been an indication that trade studies of the various systems would be of use to the industry, and these have been scheduled to follow the previously mentioned system studies. Advanced composites are being utilized more and _ore by military and large aircraft manufacturers. However, for the general aviation and light transport sector, system_ com_patible with advanced composites do not currently pose a pressing urgency., and have been deferred in the program to cross over from the short to the long term.
.Analytical techniques involve prediction models for ice accretion, ice shapes, and penalties. In the program plan, it was decided that model development of ice accretion and ice shape prediction for the new and future generation airfoils should not be undertaken until verification data are generated in the wind tunnel. L-]_ree-dimensional ice-accretion models would follow after development of the two-dimensional ice accretion codes.
Analytical studies and ,model development of the aerodynamic effects of ground fros; acc_m_alation, as-well as ice shedding characteristic studies, require correlation with data taken in the A%_T, and so are scheduled as long term research items.
In the area of propulsion, the carburetor icing study is of great i_uportance to the general aviation class of aircraft, and has been scheduled for the short term. _le use of passive spinners on engines to shed ice and the fact that some engine shedding characteristics are not fully understood, coz_rise a resea_h study area to follow into the long term.
.-he remaining efforts ("Cthers"_ are sho_n in the plan schedule to occur in the short term. A computerized icing data file would contain biblio_aph- ies and data on icing from .NASA, DDC, NTIS, and the general literature. This file '^ould he available for interrogation by all interested parties when addressin_ their problems concerninK icin_ or during the course of the subse_uent efforts detailed in the plan. A t._aining film on aircraft icing was urliversalL'; acce_ted as a sound idea, and earl)" production of that fihn _,ouLd be in order for training of general aviation and light transport pilots.
A ion_er term effort would entail a joint effort of X&5A and others, to 1_pro_'e tanker sprnv sU,'ste_-s for _se in :-light testin_ for development or ceFtlfication. D.'_is effort _md several others :_ny require the use of large tacil_t:es, .e_d thus L< forced Lute the longer term.
[3a FUNDrNG ,REQUI RE_VTS The funding requirements for each of the listed research items are difficult to define. They are highly variable since so much depends on the specific statement of work that is finally developed for each item. For example, a statement of work for the development of a computer model could include the following tasks: i. Develop equations which define the problem.
2. Write the computer program a. using a specified computer language.
b. for use with specific computing system (e.g., IBM, CI)C, etc.).
c. interfaceable with other existing codes.
3. "Debug" and perform, specified test ca_es.
a. Verify accura¢%" using existing anal)-tic,_l or test data.
5. Document and prepare a "User's _Xtanual."
6. Costs for "cor_puter time."
[n addition to the above, tasks ,vclstbe added for administrative purposes, such as : i. T.nterim and final reporting (technical and financial).
3. cqTal presentatierts with attendant travel requirements.
3. Final report publication and reproduction.

Wind tunnel testing is another research area where costs can be highly variable. In addition to the admlnistrative tasks discussed above, a t?_ical test program_ould also include _he follo_ing technical tasks: I. Detailed test plans (run schedule and test conditions)- 2.

_,¢o of the najor cost contributors to such an effort are the model desL_m aad f_:brication :rod the testing aczivity itself.

These costs are not unlike what are est£_ated here. Further, in FAA+ED-0¢ -2 (reference 122), '_qelicopter Operations Research and Development Plan," costs are est£mated for various efforts in icing research during a five year span. .As it turns out, the FAa.yearly totals are in the same ball park, although rationales are not presented to back up their estimates. The F._ feels that peak icing research funding of about $2,700,000 per year is required during 1982 and 1985. This compares to the $2,430.000 and $2,760,000 presented in figure 36.

Section _] CONCLUDING RE,_RKS This research study has identified the requirements for a research and development program to meet the needs of th_ light transport and general aviation industry. During the course of the study, the present icing technoloB2/ data base including a_Lal?-tical tec_hniques and facilities generally available to the indust_ has been assessed. >_my areas where the data base is weak or nonexistent have been revealed and it is these areas which have been addressed in the research programs suggested herein. Along with the suggested research prcgrm_s, there are a number of general and specific conclusions that can be reached as a result of this stud}, as follows: l° It is the consensus of opinion of the majoriD, of icing e_rperts that there is a need for a great deal of work with respect to the light transport and general aviation aircraft categories icing operations and certifications, specifically in the areas of: a. Icing intensi_" definitions.
b.
Improvement and updating of FAR 25 envelopes to include specific flight operational characteristics of general aviation as well as those of transport category aircraft.
c. Icing weather forecasting, including real time reporting.
,J.
Certification of aircraft cn a basis other than"_dl or noth_ig," i.e., partial certification for t]ight under ILmited icing conditions.
e. Standardization of icing certification requirements for specific t)?es of aircraft.

!39 .
_le sho_-t term and long term research plan list of specific research requirements will provide ,NASA LeRC with a basis for an overall icing research program to meet national needs. It is recommended that the X&SA LeRC incorporate the suggested research pre[_am for light transport and general aviation into their overall icing research program.
Mm_y of the research requirements outlined in the program contribute to the need for the rehabilitation of the ,k_SA LeRC ANT with icing research capabilities. As a result, rehabilitation of the .NASA LeRC IRT and A_T facilities is recommended. Fhe improvements and additions suggested in section _V are to be considered in this recommendation.
There is a general consenstm of opinion that the ,k_tSALeRC should be the center of aircraft icing expertise for basic research and consultation and should act as a clearing house for exchange of information for industry, involvement. However, it is also recommended that XASA LeRC have an input to the Air Force (._FDL) :;:ing programs to achieve ._tt_al benefits and savings to both agencies. It is recommended that these joint efforts be in such technology areas where .41 = facilities and experimental _Drk will augment the .NASA progrmms, particularly in low altitude climatologT and instrumentation.
The _rk IV oo,_puterized data management file was successful in that it provided a means to effectively retrieve reference materials as required to accomplish the program tasks, as well as providin_ for a bibliography of icing tecGnolo_- information. Further development of the }_rk IV or sL_'tilarcomputer management file is recommended in order to realaze more full)- the total capability of the system in providing a means of storing and retrieving icing tecb_olo_ data at all levels of detail.
Particularly, the file should be structured so that specific hnformaticn found in the literature may be retrieved through file interrogation in output formats acceptable for direct use in reporting.
The results of the study indicated that from a purely technical stand- point (involving ice protection system methods, ice sensitive components, ice accretion, etc.) there is very little difference between the research requirements for light transport and general aviation aircraft, and any other type of fixed wing aircraft except in _'o major areas of difference: a. Ph)'sical differences.
,-_.erational characteristics includhng altitude, scheduled/non- scheduled routes, crew training, aircraft size, and icing exposure.
_2"_ _ner_- or power _e,el_ available for aircraft Lee protection subsFs tens.

Appendix C envelopes are not tailored to meet operational
b. Nonphysical, re_nilatoo" (see }[o. I, Conclusion).
(i) F.kA la_les and regulations on certification, including FAR 25,
Appendix C envelopes are not tailored to meet operational
characteristics of general aviation type (i.e., no allowances
for partial certification, etc.)
(2) Low altitude climatology and statistical models, real time
forecasting, and quantitative icing definitions need more
specific direction towsrds general aviation.
The program that has been presented includes research specifically
oriented towards general aviation aircraft as well as research which is
applicable to all classes of aircraft.
The assessment of new and/or potential concepts for ice protection
.
systems revealed she existence of such concepts as microwave and electro-
impulse deicing systems which in theory, will provide great savings in
cost, weight, and power for ice protection. It is reco_ended that
further research is warranted and should be conducted On these concepts
to determine their feasibility for application to light transport and
general a-iation aircraft.
. 7he study revealed the need for considerable new research to be conducted
in the general area of icing inst_entation for both airborne and icing
wind turmel application. Specifically, it is recommended that research
be directed towarcLs the development of highly accurate instrumentation
for measuring icing parameters, i.e., LWC, droplet size/distribution, etc. for all ranges of values, to serve as an j_dustrf, standard.
10. It is recommended that in_provements to the N-_,CALeRC IRT Facility Lnclude
modern standardi:ed inst!namentation recording and data reducing
(processing) equipment.

Only 23 responses were returned. I%,_isresponse rate appears t)_ical, based on corments found in the literature regarding similar surveys.
A nmnber of those on the _,_i!ing list were contacted almost eight weeks after tr_smittal of the ques:ionnaire to inform them that we would still accept submittals if they had any. This ;_s done because the original transmittal letters had requested that the questionnaire be returned ,within _o weeks after receipt. Several phone calls had been received requesting exter_slons to this two week period, so it _,as asscmed that there might be others who were ,tunable to meet the two week turnaretmd and so did not subp/t a reply.
l-he fol!o_np telephone call_ verified this suspicion. It _ns quite difficult to _ke contact with most of the individuals, since ,.na_,y were out sf te_n on business, in conference at the time of the call, etc. Obviously, these are vet%- bus'," people, m_d if the two week deadline were to e.vpire, the," ;,ou!d mos= likely not be cole to take the time to pursue the question- naire, e.:_eciallv if the?" felt that it wouldn't be used in the sur_'e'/.

Section [l i I.1 .ADDITI0_L%L CCB__\-FS REGARDING ICE PROTECTION PENALTIES I* l_'e have been in_mlved with three aircraft icing programs where free:eup of the movable surface to the fixed surface occurred due to the configuration of the balance horn. One aircraft experienced iosq of rudder control. T_n aircraft configurations involved loss of elevator control. In all cases, design changes _ere neoessar v. One aircraft configuration encountered strut buffet during our natural icing flight rests. The buffet was subsequently reproduced with ice shapes attached to the struts mud the buffet traced to _rte× shedding from the glaze ice horns. Redesign was necessam-. The above deficiencies all involve tqight safety, structural loss ofa wing strut would have been cata_trophi:. Loss of pitc_h control cou/d be overcome by pilot skill if the situation were properly assessed by the crew. Singly, loss of yaw-- control on a nultiengined aircraft is a small n_K_er.
_,e largest Fenalty which could be ameliorated through K_5A sponsored R,SD efforts is the desigm time _md development _rogram cost associated with assuring safe and reliable anti icing sh'stSa_. The weight, performance, and cost penalties to the overall aircraft can best be qum::ified by the airframe comp_mv since, in virtually all cases for the class of applications se.'wed by .-\iResearch engines ,.4PU'_, business aircraft, _ud flight transports_, ;,'e are able to design our engines so that they do not require active anti-icing in the _'ngme, and our requirement i> on'_v to suppi 7 a Source of bleed air to the airframe for inlet :mr _-. zc ing.

questionable.
The -22°F at sea level is unrealistic. Should emphasize the operational +i0 to +32°F at sea level to iS,000 ft. Design philosophy behind Appendix C is to have an envelope that will include 99.9 percent of all icing encounters and allow the aircraft to remain in these condltions for an indefinite period of time. This not needed for G/A aircraft or helicopters used in non-air carrier operations. .%]so, FAR 25 envelope appears to be inaccurate at lower altitudes <5,000 ft. ,_y also be too representative of maritime climates.
, Current icing design envelopes are based on ex-tensive NACA multica, linder data. This data should be confirmed with the more accurate scattering spectrometer instruments currently available. If confirmation cannot be obtained, new design envelope maps should be defined.
Large drop sizes are ve T, difficnalt to obtain in a natural environment - not representative of actual conditions. Also, the high liquid water content specified for the 15 _icron drops in intermittent r_xhi_mt conditions is dif*icul_ to obtain in natural icing conditions and probably not very representative of actual condition_.

i.
No changes until the validity of current data are verified.
Criteria for rotorer_ft are lacking and FAA is taking steps to t_r_J_late appropriate requirements. This need emerged as the next logical step after helicopter IFR approvals. Also, a definition of "failing and blowing snow" per FAR 25.i093 is needed.
o Raise temperature from -22°F to +i0°F, delete requirement for analysis so certification could be obtained by test only, delete ability to certify by mnalysis only. With inappropriate FAR 25 envelope, present operational m_les are intolerable. A forecast of "occasional light icing" would completely ban all nonequipped aircraft certificated in last few years, even though such exposure would probably be without si_nificant hazard.
Limitation of flight into known icing conditions should not be required when length of time in and degree of icing is known by the pilot to be very small, e.g., climg to on-top through shallow cloud laver. This could be justified by pilot jud'_ent.
[clng certification should consist of selection of the most severe points for a given application and subsequent test cf these points or their equivalent. Fixed certification points shotKd not be employed. The fixed _round fog certification point needs to be confirmed with test data or modified to retqect proper exposure to ground fe Z.
We wolJd like to .have the opt ion to certi_" by tests for not more than three f!i_hts into [cin_ conditions and analysis to co_r the remainder of the envelope. [n some cases, simulated ice shapes would be used to cover unprotected areas. We are not confident that flying behind a t:mker fives representative results. _erefore, the mnnber of fli_hss required to cover the ic!ng envelcpe _,euld be astroncmical _nd totally t_acceptable, ki=i=cd "" _ ;* ....

1.
Instrumentation for real-time determination of water droplet diameter is perhaps the biggest need.
Of course, part of the problem is a lack of adequate forecasting tech- niques in the civil arena. It is worth noting that the milita_" allows partial icing operations (i.e., in light icing), provides better operational forecasts, and does not appear to have airplmnes falling out of the sk%- Ln _he winter.
A slight digression. Carburetor icc forecasts are now well within the state-of-the-art. With forecast relative h_id_ty and temperature at altitude, the forecaster could use the .NASA or Camadimn derived charts and predi¢: the severity cf carburetor ice.

EXPL_K,\T IONS : l° I am not satisfied with the present categories of icing severities. They are quite ambiguous and require knowledge of the airplane that the forecaster had _n, mind.
