Experimental Investigation of Icing Effects on a Hovering Drone Rotor Performance

A scaled version of the APT70 drone rotor, typical of small to medium UAV rotors, was tested in a 9-meter-high cold chamber for a wide range of icing parameters. The drone rotor used has four blades with varying chord and twist settings. The objective of this study was to investigate icing effects o...
