Super-icephobic surfaces to prevent ice formation on aircraft

PHOBIC 2 ICE将开发技术和预测模拟工具，以避免或减轻飞机上的积冰，这是飞机的一个重要问题。飞机结构上的积冰对飞机安全性（因为飞行仅限于某些大气条件或配备经认证的防冰技术的飞机）和可持续性（通过增加气动阻力从而增加燃料燃烧）都构成挑战。目前正在使用几种防冰技术，然而它们中的大多数具有固有的负面影响，例如高能耗、重量、环境影响、高成本和频繁的重新应用需求等。PHOBIC 2 ICE将创建一套创新的表面工程解决方案，以减少或消除积冰，包括积冰模拟工具的开发和评估;使用绿色制造工艺的新型保护涂层;以及用于检测飞机上结冰开始的传感器。 PHOBIC 2 ICE汇集了世界一流的专业知识，致力于开发高性能、资源高效的积冰解决方案，以提高可持续发展。使用涂层等被动方法防止或减轻结冰将提高安全性，减少主动除冰和防冰技术的能量，并将减少甚至消除在地面操作中使用除冰流体的需要，这对环境不友好并导致航班延误。将根据模型预测，采用绿色工艺和材料开发和生产创新的先进材料和表面处理，并在实验室规模的结冰风洞试验中进行验证。

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. PHOBIC2ICE brings together world-class expertise in developing high-performance, resource-efficient solutions to ice accretion that improve sustainable. Prevention or mitigation of ice formation using passive approaches like coatings will increase safety, reduce the energy of active de-icing and anti-icing technologies, and will reduce or even eliminate the need to use de-icing fluids on ground operations, which are environmentally unfriendly and incur flight delays. Innovative advanced materials and surface treatments will be developed and produced employing green processes and materials according to model predictions, and validated in lab-scale icing wind tunnel tests.
