Ice accretion on commercial aircraft operating at high Reynolds numbers has been
extensively studied in the literature, but a direct transformation of these results to an …

Most icing research focuses on the high Reynolds number regime and manned aviation.
Information on icing at low Reynolds numbers, as it is encountered by wind turbines and …

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are an emerging technology with a large variety of
commercial and military applications. In-flight icing occurs during flight in supercooled …

Purpose The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of icing on unmanned
aerial vehicles (UAVs) at low Reynolds numbers and to highlight the differences to icing on …

Atmospheric icing, also called in-flight icing, is a common hazard for the operation of
uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs). With the background of a growing commercial and military …

Icing is a severe hazard to aircraft and in particular to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
One important activity to understand icing risks is the prediction of ice shapes with simulation …

This thesis focused on atmospheric ice accretions, aerodynamic icing penalties, and ice
protection systems (IPS) on fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The motivation for …

With the continuous expansion of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications, the threat of
icing on UAV flights has garnered increased attention. Understanding the icing principles …

This paper presents a large parameter study on meteorological conditions to investigate the
aerodynamic performance degradation of UAVs for a wide range of icing conditions. The …

Earlier studies demonstrate that en-route atmospheric parameters, such as winds and icing
conditions, significantly affect the safety, and in-flight performance of unmanned aerial …
