About this opportunity
NASA’s Technology Transfer Program solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. THE TECHNOLOGY: Ice accumulation on an aircraft’s surface poses a serious safety risk, causing stalls and crashes due to the distortion of the smooth flow of air necessary to maintain lift. There are a variety of sensors commonly used to identify materials collecting on the surface of an aircraft, however, they all have operational limitations. Vibrating sensors are not able to detect small amounts of accumulation, optical sensors can be block...
