THE SENS4ICE EU PROJECT – SENSORS AND CERTIFIABLE HYBRID ARCHITECTURES FOR SAFER AVIATION IN ICING ENVIRONMENT – PROJECT OVERVIEW AND INITIAL RESULTS
C.W. Schwarz, DLR, Germany
The EU project SENS4ICE (GA no 824253) addresses reliable detection and discrimination of supercooled large droplets (SLD) icing conditions: technology development, icing wind tunnel and flight test. A hybrid approach combines direct sensing (atmospheric conditions / ice accretion) with indirect techniques based on changing aircraft characteristics.
