High Altitude Ice Crystals (HAIC)
Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2017,
Commercial aircraft have been experiencing in-service events while flying in the vicinity of deep convective clouds since at least the early 1990s. Heated probes and engines are the areas of air-craft most prone to mixed phase and glaciated icing threat. In anticipation of regulation changes regarding mixed phase and glaciated icing conditions, the HAIC project will provide the necessary Acceptabl ...

Smart Intelligent Aircraft Structures (SARISTU)
Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2015,
The project proposal concerns the challenges posed by the physical integration of smart intelligentstructural concepts. It addresses aircraft weight and operational cost reductions as well as animprovement in the flight profile specific aerodynamic performance.This concerns material concepts enabling a conformal, controlled distortion of aerodynamicallyimportant surfaces, material concepts enablin ...

Development of a Slat with Integrated Electrical Deicers for Icing Wind Tunnel Tests (SIEDIT)
Start date: Jan 3, 2011, End date: Feb 2, 2013,
"There are presently two principle alternatives to engine bleed air Ice Protection on mid to large size aircraft; these are known as ‘electro-expulsive’ low power and ‘electro-thermal’ systems.Whilst electro-thermal systems can perform very successfully when provided with adequate electrical power, an electro-expulsive system can be highly energy efficient and therefore extremely attractive on pla ...

ON Wing Ice DetectioN and MonitorinG System (ON-WINGS)
Start date: Sep 30, 2009, End date: Dec 29, 2012,
"When an aircraft flies in cold, moist air, especially at low altitudes, ice can form rapidly both on and behind the leading edge of aerofoils and other structures. The growth of the ice disturbs the local airflow and can radically alter the lift of the aerofoil and hence the handling characteristics of the aircraft. This phenomenon has caused a number of fatal accidents and loss of control events ...
