Aircraft and Helicopter Ice and Snow Detection Systems A fixed wing aircraft operating in icing conditions faces problems of ice build up on "wing leading edges, horizontal stabilizers, Engine air intake lips, Stub wing leading edges and Fin". Our Ice and Snow Detection Systems provides the required de-icing system requirements for this type of aircraft.  Designed for all turbine engine, rotary wing aircraft with bleed air facility, the Ice and Snow Detection System improves flight safety in icing conditions by continuously sensing and measuring ice build-up from liquid water. By indicating icing severity, the Ice and Snow Detection System enables your helicopter fleet to reduce costly transmission overhauls and rotor blade damage. Airframes suffer less fatigue and require fewer inspections, while expensive cockpit instrumentation is better shielded from ice-induced vibration damage. Additional benefits include fewer costly aircraft groundings due to bad weather, and a reduction in aircrew fatigue. The Ice and Snow Detection System is UK CAA and MIL-STD-D-8181B approved and measures Liquid Water Content (LWC) with low dependency on air velocity. This allows LWC measurements to be made accurately down to 0 knots (hover) and also eliminates the need for air velocity signal inputs to the Ice Protection Controller. The Electronic Unit accepts a computed airspeed input to further enhance the LWC calculation accuracy. Another major benefit of Ice and Snow Detection Systems is that in addition to its ice detection capability, it can also detect snow and is able to categorise and display the severity of both these conditions.
