Artificial Icing Tests CH-47C Helicopter

Abstract

The United States Army Aviation Engineering Flight Activity conducted a limited evaluation of the CH-47C helicopter in artificial icing conditions from 8 April 1974 through 2 May 1974. These tests were conducted at Moses Lake, Washington, and consisted of 2.9 hours in an artificial icing environment. Artificial icing tests were conducted to evaluate the capability of the CH-47C helicopter to safely operate in an icing environment and to verify the icing limitations presented in the operator's manual. Additionally, the capabilities of the standard anti-ice systems and installed special equipment were evaluated.
