- Resumen
Aviation icing is one of the most dangerous and complex phenomena faced by aircraft in adverse wather conditions. The formation of ice on flight surfaces can severely affect the aerodynamics, stability, and performance of an aircraft, posing a significant risk to flight safety. Traditionally, ice detention systems have relied on limited technologies, creating a space for improvement in terms of precision, reliability, and response time.
This doctoral thesis focuses on the development and testing of two innovative ice detection sensor patented by the Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial (INTA). The first sensor is based on the talent energy of Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors (FBGS), while subjected to flight tests in a controlled ice tunnel environment, while the acoustic wave-based sensor was evaluated in laboratory conditions. The experiments were designed to simulate the potential of the FBGS sensor for precise and real-time ice accymulation detection, while also providing valuable insights into the capabilities of tha acoustic wave-based sensor for future testing and refinement. This search makes a significant contribution to the advancement of ice detection systems, enhancing avaiation safety in adverse weather conditions.
