Abstract

Aircraft Icing is a complex and potentially dangerous phenomenon that occurs when the surface of an aircraft becomes covered in ice during flight in adverse weather conditions. This process can have serious implications for the safety and performance of aircraft, affecting aerodynamics, stability, and control.

This work aims to analyze ice formation mechanisms in aircraft, classify and characterize types of icing, evaluate atmospheric conditions for ice formation, identify vulnerable critical zones to icing, explore icing prevention and mitigation strategies, and compare ice protection systems. By achieving these objectives, a thorough and comprehensive understanding of the icing phenomenon in aircraft is expected to be obtained, ranging from its mechanisms to strategies for its prevention and mitigation.
