To improve the flight safety in icing conditions, a wing strake solution is proposed. Wing strake selection tests are performed in FL-11 wind tunnel using the 1:7 horizontal tail half model. A series of wing strakes are tested to be validated on the 1:15 full model in FL-12 wind tunnel. rnThe preliminary test results indicate that the wing strake can enhance the stability in landing condition. rn
