Review of research on icing in aircraft engine fuel systems

Abstract

Icing of aircraft engine fuel system is a key problem in air transportation, which is related to the safety and reliability of flight. The relevant standards, regulations and research progress of icing in aircraft engine fuel system are mainly introduced in this paper. Firstly, combined with domestic and foreign relevant standards and icing test process and other aspects, the similarities and differences of civil aircraft and military aircraft in design criteria are described. Then, the latest progress of icing research on fuel system is described in detail from the aspects of icing mechanism, ice growth and adhesion test. Finally, the key research direction in the future of green, intelligent and fine icing test standard of engine fuel system are pointed out, and the related research of engine fuel system icing is prospected.
