A theoretical ice accretion model has been established applicable to both aircraft propellers and helicopter rotors to determine the effect of rime ice on the thrust, power, and efficiency as a function of exposure time in a natural icing condition. Comparisons have been made of theoretical performance levels with previously published experimentally determined propeller thrust and efficiency for five natural icing conditions. Agreement between test and theory was acceptable.
