Overview

Objectives:

In this proposal we developed a hybrid low power ice protection modelling tool. This consisted of combining our existing knowledge on separate electrothermal and electromechanical ice protections systems into a single, integrated, computer code. We also tested (but not manufacture, which is a separate CfP) a hybrid Wing Ice Protection System (WIPS) in an icing wind tunnel. The data gathered during the icing wind tunnel test was used to validate the new design code.
