Autonomous Icing Protection Solution for Small Unmanned Aircraft: An Icing Detection, Anti-Icing and De-Icing Solution
Sørensen, Kim Lynge (Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2016:275, Doctoral thesis, 2016)This monograph is motivated by the lack of an autonomous icing protection solution for small unmanned aerial vehicles. The atmospheric phenomenon commonly referred to as aircraft icing is one the most dangerous weather ... -
Carbon Nanomaterial-Based Wing Temperature Control System for In-Flight Anti-Icing and De-Icing of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Sørensen, Kim Lynge; Strand Helland, Andreas; Johansen, Tor Arne (Journal article, 2015-03)Structural changes due to ice accretion are common causes for unmanned aerial vehicle incidents in Arctic regions. For fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) the leading edge of airfoil surfaces is one of the primary ... -
Diagnosis of Wing Icing Through Lift and Drag Coefficient Change Detection for Small Unmanned Aircraft
Sørensen, Kim Lynge; Blanke, Mogens; Johansen, Tor Arne (Journal article, 2015)This paper address the issue of structural change, caused by ice accretion, on UAVs by utilising a Neyman Pearson (NP) based statistical change detection approach, for the identi cation of structural changes of xed wing ... -
Experimental Investigations of an Icing Protection System for UAVs
Hann, Richard; Borup, Kasper Trolle; Zolich, Artur Piotr; Sørensen, Kim Lynge; Vestad, Håvard Nitter; Steinert, Martin; Johansen, Tor Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)UAV icing is a severe challenge that has only recently shifted into the focus of research. Today, there are no mature icing mitigation technologies for UAVs, except for the largest fixed-wing drones. We are working on the ... -

Flight Test Results for Autonomous Icing Protection Solution for Small Unmanned Aircraft
Sørensen, Kim Lynge; Johansen, Tor Arne (Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2017)The primary focus of the work presented in this paper is a proof-of-concept study of a novel electro-thermal-based autonomous icing protection solution (IPS) for small unmanned aircraft. The solution includes a central ... -
Thermodynamics of a carbon nano-materials based icing protection system for unmanned aerial vehicle
Sørensen, Kim Lynge; Johansen, Tor Arne (Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2016)Changes to the aerodynamic surfaces due to ice accretion are common causes for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) incidents in regions where the environmental conditions sustain icing conditions. For fixed wing UAVs the leading ... -
UAV anti-icing system based on conductive coating
Helland, Andreas Strand (Master thesis, 2014)Icing on leading edge surfaces such as wings and propeller blades presents a major risk for UAVs operating in a cold and humid environment. Reducing or loss of manoeuvrability, loss of lift, increase in drag, reducing ...
