The fielding of a new generation of helicopters in the NATO nations promises to provide significantly increased adverse weather operational capability, and in consequence a higher probability of icing encounters. Unfortunately, neither the technology nor the resources required to provide complete helicopter ice protection to NATO helicopters of the 1980s are available. Therefore, a Working Group was constituted to: develop a concensus on the icing protection requirements for the NATO operational environment; assess potential technical approaches to improved helicopter airframe and rotor icing protection; recommend R&D priorities; make recommendations on the exploitation of existing facilities and the development of new facilities for icing research and simulation; identify opportunities for cooperative efforts amongst the NATO nations. This report contains the findings of the Working Group, including recommendations for future research, a survey of national R&D programmes and plans, consideration of where these plans are not meeting the future research needs, and proposals for actions to fill these gaps. This report was prepared by a Working Group sponsored by the Flight Mechanics Panel of AGARD. (Author)
