This report presents the key findings of a 3-year experimental investigation into the effects of ice shape and airfoil geometry on airfoil performance. The overall objective of this report was to improve the understanding of the relationship between airfoil geometry, ice shape geometry, and the resulting degradation in aerodynamic performance. Three airfoils were tested with three different types of simulated ice accretions. The types of ice shapes were (1) supercooled, large droplet (SLD) ridge-type ice, (2) intercycle ice, and (3) glaze horn type ice. The NACA 23012, NLF 0414, and NACA 3415 airfoils were chosen to provide a broad range of aerodynamic characteristics.
