"... Before attacking what appeared to be a new icing problem we should study the icing work of the 1940's and 50's." ¹

From NACA-TN-2904

Summary

I have made this blog up as I went along. I have a general plan to cover all 132 icing publications in the "Selected Bibilography of NACA-NASA Aircraft Icing Publications", but I also find other interesting, related items along the way.

Future topic possibilities include:

• Water drop impingement (there are 20 publications in the "Selected Bibilography of NACA-NASA Aircraft Icing Publications" that I have not yet gotten to).

• The University of Michigan 1953 Airplane Icing Information Course. A "Greatest Thing That You (Probably) Have Never Read" candidate.

• Accomplished! Thread: The University of Michigan Airplane Icing Information Course, 1953

• NACA Conference on Aircraft Ice Prevention A Compilation of Papers Presented by NACA Staff Members. 6505/NACA-1947/8, 1947.
  This is available at DTIC.

• Project Cirrus, Final Report, 1948. Weather control, anyone?
• Mazin, I. P., 1957: The Physical Principles of Aircraft Icing (in Russian). Gidrometeoizdat, 120 pp.
  A translation to English is available at DTIC
• Let's build YA2DISCuP (Yet Another 2D Ice Shape Calculation Program)

If you particularly like one of those, or have a suggestion of your own, please contact me (contact options shown below under "social").
