摘要: In some examples, a system includes a receiver configured to receive temperature data for a region of airspace from a data source external to the vehicle. The system also includes processing circuitry configured to determine one or more moisture values for the region of airspace based on radar returns received by a weather radar onboard the vehicle. The processing circuitry is further configured to determine a potential for icing at a location within the region of airspace based on the one or more moisture values and further based on the temperature data received from the data source. The processing circuitry is also configured to generate an output based on the determined potential for icing at the location.

摘要: An optical ice detector and airspeed probe includes an ice detection module and an airspeed module. The ice detection module detects the presence or absence of ice, water, or ice and water particles, and the airspeed module determines a line-of-sight speed along a directional vector, each based on backscatter light returns emitted from a common collimated light source. An electronics module determines an airspeed of an aircraft based on the line-of-sight speed determined by the airspeed module and at least one aircraft parameter received from the air data system.

摘要: Ice detection test apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed. In some cases, ice detection and precautionary system shut-down event reduction systems and related methods are provided. The system utilizes a turbine engine ice detection apparatus that includes and engine pressure simulation device, an air moving device, and a first air pressure sensor associated with the engine pressure simulation device. The embodiment further includes an ice monitor controller that receives inputs from the first air pressure sensor and at least one second sensor located adjacent a turbine engine intake. The ice monitor controller performs comparisons of inputs from these sensors against each other and stored values to determine actual icing conditions then generate warnings on a display to an operator. The exemplary control section has multiple modes including manual, semi-manual and automatic.

摘要: The present disclosure provides for informed de-icing by identifying a travel time range for an aircraft from a de-icing station to a runway; identifying a holdover window based on predicted weather conditions during the travel time range; estimating a takeoff time for the aircraft based on a takeoff queue for the runway and the travel time range; and in response to the holdover window expiring before the estimated takeoff time, delaying the aircraft from de-icing. In some aspects, informed de-icing includes, in response to identifying an aircraft scheduled for de-icing within a caution threshold of a scheduled takeoff time and to determining that a push time cannot be delayed: evaluating an effect of repeating a de-icing operation for the aircraft on flight operations; and in response to the effect exceeding an impact threshold: rescheduling the de-icing operation for the aircraft based on a new takeoff time.

摘要: Disclosed is a blower controller for controlling a blower that supplies a pressurised airflow to an air conditioning pack of an aircraft. The blower controller comprises a pack flow demand adjustment module configured to receive a pack flow demand signal representative of a desired mass flow rate of an airflow supplied by the air conditioning pack, and a blower condition signal indicative of a condition of an intake airflow received by the blower, and determine an corrected pack flow demand based on the pack flow demand and the blower condition signal. The controller also includes a first control signal generator configured to receive the corrected pack flow demand and generate a first control signal to control a first operating parameter of the blower in response to the corrected pack flow demand. Also disclosed is an environmental control system for an aircraft, including the blower controller.

摘要: A method of monitoring for the in-flight accretion of matter involves an electric field sensor applying a time-varying electric field to an engine surface of an aircraft while the aircraft is in flight. The electric field sensor is thermally-coupled and thermally-matched to the engine surface. A sensor monitor receives, in substantially real-time from the electric field sensor, at least one measurement set that includes a measurement of a phase and a magnitude of a current detected by the electric field sensor and resulting from the time-varying electric field. The sensor monitor generates an assessment, in substantially real-time, of an instantaneous accumulation of matter on the engine surface from the at least one measurement set. The sensor monitor activates an alarm upon the assessment indicating an accumulation of matter on the engine surface.

摘要: A sensor assembly comprises a device mounted on a surface of a vehicle and extending through at least one passage in the surface of the vehicle, and a sensor comprising a short range particulate (SRP) sensor, or a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) air data sensor. The sensor is co-located and integrated with the device mounted on the surface of the vehicle. No additional passages through the surface of the vehicle are needed to integrate the sensor with the device.
