Supercooled liquid clouds: Navigating the dangers of aircraft icing

Water freezes at 0℃ (32℉ ) – or does it? In fact, liquid water can exist in clouds and precipitation at temperatures well below the freezing point. In this supercooled form, liquid water drops present a significant hazard to aircraft and in extreme cases, can cause engines to stall or result in a complete loss of control. In their Explorer Series lecture, scientists Julie Haggerty and Dan Adriaansen explore aircraft icing due to supercooled liquid drops and discuss the effects on aviation operations. They will also explain how their research, sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), helps pilots avoid icing conditions and keeps us safe in the air.
