Icing in the context of sustainable aviation

This call aims to perform research in the field of aircraft icing to ensure safety and efficiency of new aviation solutions. The increasing incidence of weather hazards due to climate change, the introduction of low CO2 aircraft with disruptive configurations, and stringent new policies and certification rules necessitate this research. Projects should develop scientific expertise to create means of compliance for the certification of icing systems and acquire knowledge to develop new prototypes of ice detection and protection. Research should focus on developing reliable numerical tools, testing capabilities for supercooled large drops (SLD), ice crystals, and snow, and assess the impact of climate change on icing environments. Collaboration with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and national aviation authorities is encouraged.

Opening Date: 16 September 2025
Deadline: 13 January 2026

Data provided by Sciencebusiness.net

This funding opportunity represents a pre-agreed draft that has not yet been officially approved by the European Commission. The final, approved version is expected to be published in the first quarter of 2025. This draft is provided for informational purposes and may be used to preliminarily form consortia and develop project ideas, but it is offered without any guarantees or warranties.

Expected Outcome

Projects are expected to:

- Develop scientific expertise to create means of compliance for the certification of icing systems.
- Acquire scientific knowledge to develop new prototypes of ice detection and protection.
- Provide reliable numerical tools and testing capabilities for various icing conditions.
- Assess the impact of climate change on icing environments to ensure future certification processes are robust.

Scope

The call focuses on research to ensure safety and efficiency in sustainable aviation, specifically addressing challenges related to aircraft icing. Proposals should:

1. Prepare for the development of means of compliance for certification of future sustainable aviation concepts, including developing reliable numerical tools and testing capabilities for icing environments.
2. Assess the impact of climate change effects on certification icing environments.
3. Optionally, research new technologies for ice detection and protection, including high-efficiency, low-energy protection systems and advanced ice detection methods.
