Super-icephobic surfaces to prevent ice formation on aircraft

PHOBIC2ICE将开发技术和预测模拟工具，以避免或减轻飞机上冰的增加，这是飞机面临的一个重大问题。航空结构上的冰的增加对飞机的安全性（因为飞行仅限于特定的大气条件或配备了经过认证的防冰技术的飞机）和可持续性（通过增加空气动力阻力从而增加燃料消耗）都提出了挑战。目前有几种冰防护技术在使用，但大多数冰防护技术都存在能耗高、重量重、环境影响大、成本高、需要频繁重复应用等固有的负面影响。PHOBIC2ICE将创造一套创新的表面工程解决方案，以减少或消除冰的增加，包括冰的增加模拟工具的开发和评估；采用绿色制造工艺的新型防护涂料；还有探测飞机上结冰开始的传感器。

PHOBIC2ICE will develop technologies and predictive simulation tools to avoid or mitigate the accretion of ice on aircraft, a significant problem for aircraft. Accretion of ice on aerostructures poses challenges for both aircraft security (as flying is restricted to only certain atmospheric conditions or to aircraft equipped with certified anti-icing technologies) and sustainability (by increasing the aerodynamic drag and thus increasing fuel burn). Several ice protection technologies are presently in use, however most of them have inherent negative effects such as high energy consumption, weight, environmental impact, high costs, and frequent reapplication need among others. PHOBIC2ICE will create a suite of innovative surface engineering solutions to reduce or eliminate ice accretion, including the development and evaluation of ice accretion simulation tools; novel protective coatings using green manufacturing processes; and sensors to detect the onset of ice formation on aircraft.
