ABSTRACT |
Ames Research Center engineer Leonard Haslim invented an anti-icing technology called an electroexpulsive separation system, which uses mechanical force to shatter potentially dangerous ice buildup on an aircraft surface. Temecula, California-based Ice Management Systems (now known as IMS-ESS) licensed the technology from Ames and has discovered a niche market for the lightweight, energy-efficient technology: unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). IMS-ESS systems now prevent damaging ice accumulation on military UAVs, allowing the vehicles to carry out crucial missions year round. |
