The supercooled water droplets in clouds can cause ice to build up on the surfaces of
aircraft and engines when planes are flying at low temperatures. The shape of the ice …

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 …

Icing is a serious threat to the flight safety of aircraft. Lightweight and efficient electrothermal
de-icing systems for carbon fiber reinforced polymer components are expected to contribute …

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 …

Atmospheric icing is one of the most common and hazardous environmental challenges for
aircraft operations. So far, only large passenger aircraft, a few general aviation aircraft, and …

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 …
