AIIS
The Austrian Institute for Icing Sciences was founded in the year 2016 with the goal to improve safety in aviation by conducting R&D in the field of aircraft icing and aircraft ice protection systems. Since then, AIIS has established itself as innovative research institution and developed a new approach to aircraft icing tests. The institute is part of national and international research projects.
Technologies and competences
The core competence of AIIS are the documentation, evaluation and validation of icing wind tunnel tests for aircraft, helicopter and UAV for R&D and certificiation purposes. Highly accurate 3D-scanning and 3D-printing technologies and a self-developed software evaluation tool are utilized therefore. Furthermore, AIIS is specialized to simulate the icing tests by means of CFD simulations.
