k Icing Wind Tunnel, CIRA Icing Wind Tunnel. Pipes of the modular spray bar system for the Icing Wind Tunnel IWT, one of the facilities at the Italian Aerospace Research Centre CIRA. This system generates icy clouds. The IWT is the only facility able to replicate the conditions of humidity, cold and wind experienced by an aircraft at altitude. This allows the study of how ice formation on an aircraft affects its performance and also the testing of deicing systems. The IWT conditions range from wind speeds of Mach 0.25 to 0.7, altitudes of up to 7000 metres, humidities between 70 and 100, and temperatures from 40 to 35 degrees Celsius. CIRA, founded in 1984, is in Capua, Italy. Stock Photo - Afloimages

Icing Wind Tunnel, CIRA

Icing Wind Tunnel. Pipes of the modular spray bar system for the Icing Wind Tunnel (IWT), one of the facilities at the Italian Aerospace Research Centre (CIRA). This system generates icy clouds. The IWT is the only facility able to replicate the conditions of humidity, cold and wind experienced by an aircraft at altitude. This allows the study of how ice formation on an aircraft affects its performance and also the testing of de-icing systems. The IWT conditions range from wind speeds of Mach 0.25 to 0.7, altitudes of up to 7000 metres, humidities between 70% and 100%, and temperatures from -40 to 35 degrees Celsius. CIRA, founded in 1984, is in Capua, Italy.
