Optimised Ice Protection Systems Integration in Innovative Control Surfaces

This topic addresses all the aspects of leading edge slat ice protection system technology, design and certification.

For the N+2 generation, this topic will continue the exploration of de-icing schemes which currently present significant technical challenges starting with the ability to create accurate computer models of their operation. The goal would be to develop completely the processes and tools needed to optimise the design of such systems.

For the N+3 generation entering service in the 2030s, the topic will lay the foundation of radically new approaches to ice protection, offering opportunities to study technology with lower maturity.
