This work presents unique free-flight wind-tunnel and outdoor experiments investigating multicopter UAV performance under real icing conditions. Data-driven degradation modeling and adaptive gain-scheduled control are validated using measured propulsion data and virtual ice-mass estimation. The results improve resilience of UAV control systems and are relevant to aerospace, robotics, and autonomous systems operating in adverse weather.
