Abstract

Tests were made on a model of a sharp-edged delta wing to determine the shedding characteristics of ice formed on the leading edge. It was found that above angles of attack of 6 degrees the ice was carried over the upper surface, while below 6 degrees ice was carried over both upper and lower surfaces. The rate of ice formation on the sharp leading edge corresponds to a high collection efficiency of the edge for approaching cloud water droplets.
