  • Aircraft ice protection optimization based on ice-detection input
    Patent number: 9555894
    Abstract: An aircraft ice protection system (10) comprises an ice protection device (21), an onboard power source (30), a supply line (31) from the power source (30) to the device (21), a controller (41) which controls the line (31), and an optimizer (50) which conveys operation-optimizing instructions (51) to the controller (41). An ice detector (60) provides an input (70) to the optimizer (50) and this ice-condition input (70) is used to generate the operation-optimizing instructions (51).
