Workshop on UAV Icing
It has been a busy year, and last week was one of the highlights. My team at the UAV Icing Lab and I have organized the 2nd International UAV Icing Workshop. It has been a great experience to invite the top researchers and stakeholders in…
How much energy is required to prevent ice on UAVs?
In-flight icing of UAVs is a severe hazard that prevents drone operations in bad weather conditions. In order to overcome this limitation, UAVs can be equipped with ice protection systems that mitigate the negative effects of icing. One solution is to heat the exposed surfaces…
Exploring the Hazards of Drone Icing
Icing of drones is a severe hazard that significantly limits the usage of autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles. Researchers conducted experiments in an icing wind tunnel to learn more about icing to test an icing protection system. This spring, researchers from the Norwegian University of Science…
