Flight investigation of a stall-warning indicator for operation under icing conditions (open access)

Flight investigation of a stall-warning indicator for operation under icing conditions

Report presenting an investigation to determine whether some characteristic of the boundary layer could be used to provide warning of the increase in stalling speed of a wing caused by ice formations on the leading edge. Results were analyzed by referring the total pressures at the rake to the free-stream total pressure, static pressure at the rake, free-stream static pressure, and static pressure from wind-tip swiveling head.
