Method of detecting accretion of ice on airfoil based on measurement of difference between temperatures at icing and nonicing locations on airfoil. Release of latent heat of fusion gives rise to characteristic gradient of temperature. Temperatures and difference between them measured by use of contact sensors or remote sensor. Measurements used to trigger alarms and/or deicing equipment.
