A research program was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of icing tunnel hybrid model design. A hybrid design is where the full-scale leading edge of a wing section is maintained only to a certain percentage of the local chord, while the aft section of the model is redesigned into a shortened or truncated planform. An initial study was conducted in 2020 where the ice shape geometries on a full-chord length version of the swept CRM65 wing model were compared to those from the hybrid version of CRM65 that were obtained in the NASA Icing Research Tunnel in 2015. The results were reported in a 2021 paper. For most test conditions, the overall size and shape of the ice shapes compared well. However, the ice shapes from the full-chord model were generally slightly smaller than those from the hybrid model. A follow-on test was conducted in 2022 and obtained ice shapes on both full-chord and hybrid wing models during the same test campaign to eliminate the differences in the tunnel spray nozzle configuration and calibration as a cause for the differences observed during the previous investigation. The ice shapes obtained on the full-chord model compared much better to those obtained on the hybrid model during the 2022 test, with nearly identical cross sections and ice mass values generally within 5%.
