The Development of an Advanced Anti-Icing/Deicing Capability for U.S. Army Helicopters. Volume 1. Design Criteria and Technology Considerations

Abstract

The work which has been accomplished under this program is reported in two volumes. Volume 1 discusses (1) icing severity level analysis and recommended design criteria, (2) adverse weather protection technology, (3) a trade-off comparison of different types of ice protection systems for various categories of helicopters, and (4) a technology development program for an advanced electrothermal deicing system. Volume 2, Ice Protection System Application to the UH-1H Helicopter, describes the application of the recommended electrothermal deicing system to a UH-1H test aircraft. It provedes a detailed description of the modifications to the basic aircraft (including the flight test-instrumentation) and the results of the ground and flight test program for that aircraft conducted in the winter of 1975-75.
