Video: From flight test to virtual certification – Clean Sky 2
New aircraft must demonstrate safe flight behaviour even under icing conditions. This applies without limitations – that is, even if the anti-icing systems fail. This proof of certification is currently provided by prescribed flight tests with installed, artificial ice accumulations in various icing conditions at the relevant locations. DLR has carried out flight tests with its In-flight Systems and Technology Airborne Research (ISTAR) aircraft as part of the European aviation research programme Clean Sky 2 (2013 to 2024), in collaboration with Dassault Aviation. The aim of these flight tests, which were conducted in 2023, was to investigate the changes in flight behaviour and airflow data caused by the artificial ice accumulations.
