Helicopter Icing Symposium, 6-7 November 1978, London,

Abstract

This document is a collection of papers presented at the Helicopter Icing Symposium, held in London, England, 6-7 November 1978. The emphasis of the symposium was on helicopter rotor blade icing. Papers covered methods of rotor blade ice protection (electrothermal, ice phobic coatings, microwave, vibratory and mechanical-pneumatic concepts); design and test criteria; ice protection system capabilities and testing and certification methods. Also included are papers on meteorological data; instrumentation; icing tunnel tests and correlations of results to mathematical accretion model; and simulated and natural icing flight tests.
