Global Hawk icing tests
Whenever the Global Hawk begins a mission, it has to travel through a certain area of the atmosphere that, under certain conditions, can create ice on the aircraft, adding weight and aerodynamic drag. A cloud deck from about 8,000 feet to 22,000 feet is the main concern for the Global Hawk, according to project engineer Jonny Kim, Global Vigilance Combined Test Force (CTF).
According to Major Ryan Finlayson, test pilot with the Global Vigilance CTF, the ice only forms for about five minutes on the way up, and again on the way down through this cloud deck.
“This was a first-of-type testing done here at Edwards. No other programme or CTF has accomplished icing testing in this manner,” said Lt Colonel Cory Naddy, Director of the Global Vigilance CTF.
