Austrian Institute For Icing Sciences

The Austrian Institute for Icing Sciences was founded as research association in the year 2016 in Köflach, Austria. The institute has specialized in the field of aircraft icing with the goal to increase efficiency and safety in aviation. Aircraft icing is a complex phenomenon and has critical effects on flight characteristics and performance. Reliable and effective ice protection systems are a must-have for safe operation in icing conditions. System design, testing and certification is crucial for safety and success of future aircraft, helicopters and UAVs. AIIS is involved in R&D activities to better understrand the in-flight icing phenomena and the development of new and innovative technical soultions. The institute is participating in national and international research projects to advance the state of the art and is working together with a wide range of stakeholders in the aviation industry.
