This study develops a cost-effective 2.5D aerodynamic method predicting icing effects on swept lifting surfaces, integrating with an aircraft's optimization workflow. Employing 2D inviscid methods and CFD simulations, it assesses planform geometry's influence on ice accretion. Results inform a quick-response prediction method, evaluated against test cases for reliability and accuracy.
