To design in-flight and real-time multi-level ice detection technologies accounting for operational uncertainties
- Simulation of complex three-dimensional rotor ice structures, including performance degradation and ice-induced vibrations;
- Assessment of the acoustic analogies most suitable for ice detection
- Formulation of a robust and reliable multi-level ice detection system for helicopter rotors and UAVs propellers, based on the aeroacoustic signature of iced blades and on performance and vibration parameters.
