The National Canadian Research Council used a hover spray rig in Ottawa to determine how fast ice builds up on rotor blades and other surfaces. The rig was used to blow cold water on the hovering helicopter while an engineering team measured the amount of accumulated ice. Information obtained from the tests will be used in the design of a system allowing aircraft to fly into icy conditions.
