AIRA Conducts 2009 Research Implementation Forum
The 2009 Research Implementation Forum (RIF) was held on Tuesday, June 23rd as part of the 39th AIAA Fluid Dynamics Conference meeting held in San Antonio, Texas.
Walter Strapp, Environment Canada, and Jeanne Mason, Boeing Commercial Airplanes, were the distinguished lecturer for the event. Their talk centered on “Current Perspectives on Jet Engine Power Loss in Ice Crystal Conditions” and was well received by all those in attendance.
Planning has already begun for the 2010 RIF. Stay tuned for further details!

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.
