Several groups at the University of Illinois are involved in the NASA Smart Icing Systems project. One aspect of this project is to develop a PC-based pilot-in-the-loop, real-time, reconfigurable flight simulator capable of modeling the system, including aerodynamic and control effects caused by aircraft icing. Such a simulator is being developed to model a typical commuter aircraft with and without ice while incorporating various ice accretion models. The simulator will be used to perform virtual flight tests of icing encounters so as to further develop and refine the overall smart icing system as well as the individual components.
