Abstract
An assembly is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This aircraft propulsion system assembly includes an aircraft propulsion system component with a leading edge. The aircraft propulsion system assembly also includes artificial ice attached to the aircraft propulsion system component. The artificial ice at least partially covers and extends longitudinally along the leading edge.
Claims20
An assembly for an aircraft propulsion system, comprising:
- an aircraft propulsion system component comprising a leading edge;
- and
- artificial ice attached to the aircraft propulsion system component, the artificial ice at least partially covering and extending longitudinally along the leading edge.
An assembly for an aircraft, comprising:
- an aircraft component comprising a leading edge;
- and
- artificial ice attached to the aircraft component with single sided tape, the artificial ice at least partially covering and extending longitudinally along the leading edge, and the artificial ice between a first portion of the single sided tape and the aircraft component.
A method involving an aircraft propulsion system, comprising:
- attaching artificial ice to a component of the aircraft propulsion system, the artificial ice at least partially covering and extending longitudinally along a leading edge of the component of the aircraft propulsion system;
- and
- monitoring one or more operational parameters of the aircraft propulsion system while the artificial ice is attached to the component of the aircraft propulsion system.
