standard by SAE International, 04/20/2016
This document describes methods that are known to have been used by aircraft manufacturers to evaluate aircraft aerodynamic performance and handling effects following application of aircraft ground deicing/anti-icing fluids ("fluids"), as well as methods under development. Guidance and insight based upon those experiences are provided, including:
- Similarity Analyses
- Icing Wind Tunnel Tests
- Flight Tests
- Computational Fluid Dynamics and other Numerical Analyses
This document also describes:
- The history of evaluation of the aerodynamic effects of fluids
- The effects of fluids on aircraft aerodynamics
- The testing for aerodynamic acceptability of fluids for SAE and regulatory qualification performed in accordance with AS5900
- Additionally, Appendices A to E present individual aircraft manufacturers
