To devise ice scaling laws and simulate in-flight icing on UAM with ducted rotors
- To numerically investigate the ice and snow accretion phenomena on small scale UAM
- Data gathered through the project will be used to investigate a possible scaling law for the icing problem and to assess the performance of UAM in icing and snow conditions
Preliminary design of an innovative electromechanical IPS (PWG3)

Gross Salary
A monthly amount of 3,911.60 € will be provided by the Research Executive Agency. This sum is made up of the monthly Living Allowance in the amount of 3,311.60 € which already includes the country coefficient specified by the European Commission and the Mobility Allowance of 600.00 €. Moreover, a family allowance of 660.00 € is provided if the recruited doctoral candidate has or acquires family obligations during the action duration. This monthly amount corresponds to the budgetary burden for the employment of the EU researcher and equals the gross salary (i.e. before any deductions, such as health insurance, social security, taxes…) for the activities to be remunerated. Depending on the status of the DR deductions are usually below 20% in Italy.
