Ewen McPhee Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I assume Ice isn't much of a problem for RA aircraft but this video seems interesting. NASA Tailplane Icing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonflyer Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Pretty cool.And a good site you should have a look at the guy they do Hypoxia tests on..He's completely off his head, and the speed it happens is unbelievable.... Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maj Millard Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Wouldn't expect it to be a problem (Airframe ice) on ULs unless you were really high, or flying in real bad winter weather, (in Alaska !) which you shouldn't be anyway. On the subject of hypoxia, it generally starts to effect most at around 10 to 12 thousand, however I did do a session in the decompression chamber at Point Cook years ago, and remember a gentleman who was a very heavy smoker becoming adversely effected at 7-8 thousand. Carb ice however is a whole different kettle of fish, and has been known to be possible at any attitude, and even on the ground...........................
