ONERA has developed two real time ultrasonic ice accretion sensors for use on aircrafts or in ground tests. The first one is aimed for short time icing detection, the former is devoted to ice thickness measurements. Ultrasonic ice characteristics tested in laboratory, technology of these devices and results of tests in icing wind tunnel facilities are presented. The measurements were satisfactory in the explored temperature range.
