The first propeller icing test campaign is planned at the NASA Glenn Icing Research Tunnel using the medium-scale propeller. The results will support comparison with later RTA testing and help guide scaling method development.
Early project activities include comparison work between icing facilities using a NACA0012 wing section. This helps characterise potential facility differences before propeller test campaigns are compared.
PRECISE officially begins. The project will investigate propeller icing scaling through coordinated experimental and numerical research involving Austrian partners and NASA. The project runs from July 2025 to June 2028.
