Inlet icing protection simulation system

摘要

A method and apparatus for generating a flow of heated air (124) in an airfoil model of an inlet (104) of an aircraft (108) engine. Heated air (124) is sent into a duct system associated with the airfoil model (110) of the inlet (104) of the aircraft (108) engine. The heated air (124) is circulated within the airfoil model (110) of the inlet (104) of the aircraft (108) engine using the duct system in a manner that simulates air flowing in the inlet (104) of the aircraft (108) engine.
