NASA Now: Phase Change and Forces of Flight: Aircraft Icing Research
Posted on Aug 30, 2011 01:06:55 PM | John Entwistle | 0 Comments    |
Join NES in the Icing Research Tunnel at NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, when aeromechanical engineer and icing specialist Judith VanZante gives a tour and explains how engineers apply simple concepts in physical science to create windy, cold and wet conditions for aircraft testing.

As you tour the IRT, you will learn how the speed of the wind is increased, how the extreme temperatures in the warm summer months are achieved, what forces act on an aircraft and how a pilot would deal with these forces in icing conditions.
