摘要

The present disclosure relates to methods of manufacturing ice panel segments for turbofan engines. An ice panel material may be wrapped around a mandrel. The ice panel material may include an inner fiberglass layer, a plurality of KEVLAR® layers, and an outer fiberglass layer. The ice panel material may be bagged and cured into a rigid molded cylinder. The rigid molded cylinder may be radially cut into ice panel cylinders.
