| Abstract | Flight tests were performed in an artificial icing cloud on a Bell HU-1 helicopter equipped with a fluid icing protection system for the main and tail rotor blades. Icing protection is required for this helicopter because vibrations are caused by the asymmetric self-shedding of rotor blade ice accretions. The results indicated that the anti-icing system will be adequate to protect the helicopter for limited duration flights in moderate icing conditions. |
