The overall aim of this project is a novel approach for increased sensitivity of laminar wings to ice accretion in all flight phase. The CfP topic will address three main objectives therefore:1. Development of a system architecture model for an active ice protection system;2. Development of innovative sensing options to support the active ice protection strategy;3. Overall aircraft model that demo ...

Icephobic coatings are being investigated as functional coatings for laminar flow. The coatings are intended to support the wing ice protection systems by reducing the formation or adhesion of ice and consequently reducing the energy requirements of the system. Currently, the most comprehensive method for measuring and understanding the icephobic nature of a coating is by performing icing wind t ...
