Icing Onset Sensor
An Advanced Aircraft Icing Sensor
IOS is a novel airfoil ice sensor that provides the pilot with warnings of icing conditions and indications of critical ice thickness accumulation.
A deice output is available that can be directly used to activate a deicer. The thickness threshold is set commensurate with the thickness range for effective deicing for the specified deicer and within the performance constraints of the airfoil. This operational mode optimizes the effectiveness of the deicer while conserving power.
