Abstract

Flight tests with simulated ice shapes are an important verification means to demonstrate that an aircraft can fly safely under natural icing conditions. This paper studies the climbing performance flight test technology for civil aircraft with simulated ice shapes from the aspects of simulated ice shape selection, flight test method research, pre-flight test condition requirements, flight test risk assessment, and flight test data analysis, etc., and analyzes the climb performance flight test data of a certain large transport aircraft, giving the analysis of flight test results.
