Preliminary Results of Natural Icing of an Axial-Flow Turbojet Engine (open access)

Preliminary Results of Natural Icing of an Axial-Flow Turbojet Engine

Memorandum presenting a flight investigation in natural icing conditions to determine the effect of ice formations on the performance of an axial-flow turbojet engine. Tail-pipe temperature increased from 761 to 1065 degrees Fahrenheit and the jet thrust decreased from 1234 to 910 pounds during a period of 45 minutes in icing. No general conclusions can be reached from the data because the icing condition was relatively light.

Effects of Ice Formations on Airplane Performance in Level Cruising Flight (open access)

Effects of Ice Formations on Airplane Performance in Level Cruising Flight

"A flight investigation in natural icing conditions was conducted by the NACA to determine the effect of ice accretion on airplane performance. The maximum loss in propeller efficiency encountered due to ice formation on the propeller blades was 19 percent. During 87 percent of the propeller icing encounters, losses of 10 percent or less were observed" (p. 1).

Icing and De-Icing of a Propeller with Internal Electric Blade Heaters (open access)

Icing and De-Icing of a Propeller with Internal Electric Blade Heaters

"An investigation has been made in the NACA Cleveland icing research tunnel to determine the de-icing effectiveness of an experimental configuration of an Internal electric propeller-blade heater. Two atmospheric Icing conditions and two propeller operating conditions were Investigated in experiments with unheated blades and with heat applied to the blades both continuously and cyclically. Data are presented to show the effect of propeller speed, ambient air temperature and liquid-water concentration, and the duration of the heat-on and cycle times on the power requirements and de-icing performance of the blade heaters" (p. 1).
