43 Steady State Characterization Goal: Analyze quasi-steady data characterized by control inputs and disturbances insufficient to excite dynamic modes to characterize the icing encounter. Objectives: Determine onset of icing on an aircraft in real-time during flight. Estimate the severity of ice accretion in terms of its effect on performance, stability and control. Identify location of ice accretion on the A/C and the potential safety hazards. 3-43

44 Steady State Characterization (cont.) Approach: Acquire flight data, using onboard sensors. Process aircraft data to obtain nondimensional parameters in iced and equivalent clean conditions. Compare iced and clean models to back out useful flight parameters such as C L, δ E, C D, and C h. Set threshold values to determine onset of icing. Analyze the s and other sensor information to determine the type and location of ice accretion and the potential safety hazards. 3-44

45 S. S. Characterization Results Use FDC 1.3 auto-pilot configuration set at: constant altitude constant power Analyze the effects of icing on: angle of attack elevator deflection velocity and drag characteristics The clean and iced configurations have been compared for conditions with and without turbulence. The icing simulations are set at η ice =.15 and the simulations are run for 22 minutes. 3-45

46 Steady State Flight Conditions The initial conditions for the steady state analysis are: Altitude = 9000 ft Velocity = 268 ft/sec Angle of Attack = 0.5 Elevator Deflection = -0.6 η ice (t = 0) = 0 η ice (t = 22 min.) = 0.83 Clean and Iced Model v2.1 is used. 3-46

47 Turbulence Model The turbulence model used in the FDC 1.3 steady state analysis is based on the Dryden spectral density distribution. The turbulence intensity produces an aircraft z- acceleration of 0.13g RMS with typical variations of +/- 0.5g encountered over the 22 minute flight. 3-47
