Ice detection systems (102) for aircraft and related methods are disclosed. A disclosed example ice detection system (102) includes a thermochromic device (142) to sense a temperature of freestream air relative to a temperature threshold, and a hydrochromic device (144, 1104) to sense an amount of moisture in the freestream air relative to a moisture threshold. a controller (152, 506) to detect an icing condition in response to the thermochromic device (142) sensing a temperature that is less than or equal to the temperature threshold and the hydrochromic device (144, 1104) sensing an amount moisture that exceeds the moisture threshold.
