  • Light detection and ranging (LIDAR) ice detection system
    Patent number: 10429511
    Abstract: A Light Detecting and Ranging (LIDAR) based system detecting and quantifying ice accretions and shedding on an aircraft. This system can be used to detect ice, operate ice protection systems, and satisfy aircraft icing certification requirements. This system can also be used to determine the shape, thickness, type, and location of the ice accretions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 4, 2017
    Date of Patent: October 1, 2019
    Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANY
    Inventors: Cris K. Bosetti, John J. Biel-Goebel, Michael C. Cates, W. Brendan Blanton, Bernard P. Paul, Jr., Ken L. Bernier

  • Aircraft icing conditions detection systems and methods
    Patent number: 10071808
    Abstract: An icing conditions detection system is configured to detect icing conditions with respect to an aircraft. The icing conditions detection system includes an icing conditions detector secured to a surface of the aircraft and that is configured to detect liquid water within an air stream through which the aircraft flies. A free stream of atmospheric air passes over the icing conditions detector during flight. An icing conditions determination control unit is communicatively coupled to the icing conditions detector, and is configured to detect a first icing condition and a second icing condition based on at least one icing conditions signal received from the icing conditions detector. The first icing condition differs from the second icing condition.
