Methodology for Testing the Durability of Hydrophobic Coatings for VTOL UAV

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Vertical take-off and landing unmanned aerial vehicles (VTOL UAVs) are becoming increasingly important in the modern aviation industry. With their growing use, it is essential to find solutions to newly emerging technical problems related to ensuring operational safety. One of these unresolved issues is the accumulation of ice on propeller blades during flight in adverse meteorological conditions. For VTOL UAVs, the propeller blades are the only lifting surfaces, and any disruption of their geometry by an ice layer can lead to the crash of the entire aircraft. A promising solution to this problem, currently being explored experimentally, is the use of hydrophobic coatings, which successfully delay or completely prevent the accumulation of ice. However, hydrophobic coatings currently lack sufficient durability and have a low ability to withstand normal operational wear and tear, causing them to lose their hydrophobic properties quickly. The primary goal of this work is to propose a concept and testing methodology that would allow propeller blades treated with hydrophobic coatings to be exposed to conditions as close as possible to operational wear and tear.
