Fiber Optic Ice Sensor for Measuring Ice Thickness, Type and the Freezing Fraction on Aircraft Wings

Ice accretion on an aircraft affects the aerodynamic performance of the wings by disrupting the airflow, increasing drag, and altering its flight characteristics, leading to a main or tail wing-stall and altimetry to aircraft loss. The current generation of ice-detection systems relies on environmen...
