- Aircraft Icing Analysis
Ice build-up can result in a wide range of failures on an aircraft, whether through compromised aerodynamic performance or through shedding ice striking critical equipment.
As part of Stirling Dynamics’ specialist aerodynamic and loads capability, our team can provide full airframe or detailed component analysis for the certification of flight in icing conditions for any aircraft.
Whether you’re developing a brand new aircraft, modifying an existing one, or re-purposing an existing vehicle or fleet, we can provide expert icing analysis to support your aircraft development programme.
Our icing specialists have extensive knowledge of ice accretion and aerodynamic modelling. Utilising a suite of industry-standard software, they can provide icing analysis services to suit your existing capabilities and programme requirements.
We will examine the aerodynamics of your aircraft within appropriate icing conditions to provide an accurate analysis of the location and accretion mass for your certification requirements. We can also use this information to deliver a comprehensive picture of aircraft performance and aerodynamic loads under any flight condition.
Our modelling and analysis capability extends to our Compliance Verification Engineers (CVE) who are authorised to certify aircraft for flight in icing conditions.
