Will Ice Ground the Future of Flight? Inside NASA’s Chilling Wing Trials

Will Ice Ground the Future of Flight? Inside NASA’s Chilling Wing Trials

NASA is testing radical new airplane wing designs that could drastically cut fuel use—but there’s a catch: they may be more vulnerable to ice buildup. At its Glenn Research Center, NASA is using its Icing Research Tunnel to simulate dangerous weather and find out how to keep these sleek, fuel-efficient wings safe in flight. Collaborating [...]
