NASA's Glenn Research Center in Ohio this year completed two tests in its Propulsion Systems Laboratory (PSL) 3 facility focused on increasing the understanding of engine ice-crystal icing. This phenomena can lead to power-loss events and can occur when jet engines ingest a large amount of ice crystals during flight in clouds. A full-scale engine ice-crystal icing test was completed in Nov 2015. This test utilized a heavily instrumented engine model, specifically an unmodified ALF502 engine that had previously experienced an uncommented loss of thrust event called a rollback.
