About | History | Research | Images | Tour | Activities The Icing Branch performs research activities related to the development of methods for evaluating and simulating the growth of ice on aircraft surfaces, the effects that ice may have on the behavior of aircraft in flight, and the behavior of ice protection/detection systems. In the Icing Research Tunnel, researchers study:
When models are placed in the tunnel, all forward-facing surfaces accumulate ice. Shown below are several images of research conducted in the Icing Research Tunnel.
