Engine Icing Validation testing. Technician performing an inspection on the inlet ducting of a Honeywell ALF502 engine the was recently used for a NASA Engine Icing Validation test. This test allows engine manufacturers to simulate flying through the upper atmosphere where large amounts of icing particles can be ingested and cause flame outs or a loss of engine power on aircraft. It was the first of its kind in the world. Work is being done to establish a capability that will allow engines to be operated at the same temperature and pressure conditions experienced in flight.
