Methodology developed to predict the performance degradation of rotating systems in natural icing conditions is described and discussed. Theoretical studies of the increments performance degradation due to icing involving the propeller, helicopter in hover and forward flight, and XV-15 propulsion modes are summarized. Related experimental studies on the NACA 0012 airfoil and model helicopter with/without generic ice shapes are reviewed. The results of these experimental and theoretical studies are used to suggest refinements to current methodology.
