Updated: Agenda Added for AIRA Session at ASME Conference on Propulsion System Icing
Agenda Added: AIRA will sponsor a session on propulsion systems icing -- challenges and research opportunities -- at the upcoming International Gas Turbine Institute (IGTI) conference sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). The conference will be held in Montreal, Canada on May 14-17. AIRA members believe we have put together a session featuring some of the acknowledged experts in the field, who will provide interesting and informative overviews of various aspects of the challenge set as well as the programs being planned which will address these challenges.View more information on the ASME 2007 Meeting page.

AIRA Planning Session on Propulsion System Icing at Upcoming International Conference
One of the areas of growing interest within the international icing community is that of turbofan engine performance and operability in icing conditions especially the so called "mixed conditions," a term which denotes an icing cloud which contains not only super cooled water droplets but also ice crystals. AIRA has identified this area as one on which the group should focus its attention.View more information on the ASME 2007 Meeting page.

AIRA Co-sponsors Technical Session at 2006 ASME
AIRA co-sponsored a technical session at 2006 ASME International Gas Turbine Institute (IGTI) Annual Meeting on Propulsion System Icing. The aircraft industry is expressing an increasing concern regarding in-flight icing incidents occurring at higher altitudes than the recognized upper limit for super-cooled water droplets. These in-flight incidents experienced by both transport and commuter aircraft have resulted in propulsion system power loss and resultant system damage. As a first step in the formulation phase of a potential project, AIRA co-hosted a technical session at the recent ASME/IGTI conference held in Barcelona, Spain.View more information about AIRA's participation in the ASME meeting.
