Propeller Icing Tunnel Test on a Full-Scale Turboprop Engine

摘要

This document presents data from a propeller icing test performed at the McKinley Climatic Chamber at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. The test was proposed and sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration Small Airplane Directorate. The test was designed to provide certification guidance to account for propeller performance in Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 25 Appendix C icing conditions and in supercooled large drop conditions (SLD) in anticipation of SLD rulemaking.
