ICED CRM project experimental test is scheduled for spring 2026 in the European Transonic Windtunnel. The project will make use of the NASA Common Research Model (CRM) to define, manufacture and test relevant Appendix-O ice configurations. Such high-quality data has not been attained and can only be attained using cryogenic wind tunnel testing. The ICED CRM project will result in a shared database of experimental data on which to base mitigation technology development, a better understanding of numerical computations practice for the effects of icing on aircraft performance.
