UAV Icing: Aerodynamic Degradation Caused by Intercycle and Runback Ice Shapes on an RG-15 Airfoil

UAV Icing: Aerodynamic Degradation Caused by Intercycle and Runback Ice Shapes on an RG-15 Airfoil

Electrothermal de-icing systems are a popular approach to protect unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from the performance degradation caused by in-cloud icing. However, their power and energy requirements must be minimized to make these systems viable for small and medium-sized fixed-wing UAVs. Thermal...
