Full Description

This document describes methods that are known to have been used by aircraft manufacturers to evaluate aircraft aerodynamic performance and handling effects following application of aircraft ground deicing/anti-icing fluids ("fluids"), as well as methods under development. Guidance and insight based upon those experiences are provided, including:

- Similarity Analyses

- Icing Wind Tunnel Tests

- Flight Tests

- Computational Fluid Dynamics and other Numerical Analyses

This document also describes:

- The history of evaluation of the aerodynamic effects of fluids

- The effects of fluids on aircraft aerodynamics

- The testing for aerodynamic acceptability of fluids for SAE and regulatory qualification performed in accordance with AS5900

- Additionally, Appendices A to E present individual aircraft manufacturers
