Abstract: A method for detecting an icing condition using an apparatus comprising a piezoelectric material and a vibration detector. The piezoelectric material has a surface proximate to a surface of a vehicle. The piezoelectric material is configured to vibrate. The vibration detector is configured to detect a change in vibrations in the piezoelectric material that indicates a presence of an icing condition on the surface of the piezoelectric material.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting an icing condition. The apparatus comprises a sensor system and an icing condition detector. The sensor system is configured to collect drops of water from air on an exterior of an aircraft and generate a number of images of the drops of water collected. The icing condition detector is configured to detect a presence of a number of types of icing conditions for the aircraft using the number of images from the sensor.

Abstract: A system and method include a first icing detector configured to detect a first icing condition in relation to one or more portions of an aircraft. The first icing detector is configured to output a first icing signal indicative of the first icing condition. A second icing detector is configured to detect a second icing condition in relation to the one or more portions of the aircraft. The second icing detector is configured to output a second icing signal indicative of the second icing condition. A control unit is in communication with the first icing detector and the second icing detector. The control unit is configured to receive the first icing signal from the first icing detector and the second icing signal from the second icing detector. The control unit is further configured to distinguish between presence of supercooled liquid water and ice crystal icing in response to receiving one or both of the first icing signal or the second icing signal.
