Icing Testing in the Large Modane Wind Tunnel on a Reduced-Scale Model of a Helicopter Rotor (Giviage en Similitude d'un Rotor d'Helicoptere dans la Soufflerie)
Icing tests on full-scale models of parts of aircraft, equipped with actual de-icing systems, have been carried out in the large Modane wind tunnel of ONERA since 1962. During the last few years, ONERA has perfected and proved the technique for similitude icing testing on reduced-scale models; durin...
