icing analysis

I write about the (US) National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) aircraft icing publications, 1918 to 1959. This is a lesser-known area of the history of science and technology.

While my blog posts are technical, I will post here some of the interesting quotes and photos that I find.
The NACA images are Public Domain, so use them as you wish.

Figure 14 of NACA-TN-1598, showing a drawing of a two-engine jet airplane with ice formations on the wing leading edges and other surfaces. The caption reads: "Airspeed loss cased by ice accumulations on various components of airplane. Total airspeed loss, 41 miles per hour, from 204 to 163 miles per hour."
