Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors ice detection: Methodologies and performance

New Researches have been done recently in order to create and adapt new systems to the recent Appendix O FAR 25 Aeronautical aircraft icing regulations. One important issue are the Supercooled Large Droplets (SLD) that are an important hazard in many cases. Novel sensor technologies for aircraft are being developed in order to assess the ice severity and to discriminate between large size droplets and small size droplets ice accretions.
