Icing Engineering for Flight and Space Travel

Winter 2021 Icing is one of the most significant hazards known to aircraft. When supercooled water droplets contact the aircraft, ice may formulate on the surface. When ice accretes on an airplane, it disrupts the airflow and increases drag while decreasing the airfoil’s ability to create lift, and the result can be catastrophic. NASA has
