In order to check the anti-icing system design for the air intakes of the Surion helicopter, anti-icing qualification tests were made. The paper discusses the design and manufacturing of two full scale air intake models. One model for aerodynamic verification tests and another model equipped with an electro-thermal anti-icing system. Both models were tested in the CIRA icing wind tunnel and a description of the tests, the test methodology and results obtained is given.
