NASA To Study High Ice Water Content Flight
Why some engines fail in flight is the subject of a new NASA research program.

Why some engines fail in flight is the subject of a new NASA research program. “There is a question regarding the effect that moisture has on newer-technology engines. We’re trying to understand how much moisture actually exists in the atmosphere, where it comes from, and what effect it has on newer-technology engines,” Michael DiLullo, owner and CEO of Threshold Technologies, told AIN.

Threshold will be providing a GII and crew for NASA’s high ice water content (HIWC) flight campaign. In addition, Threshold and sister company Aviation Maintenance Group will provide maintenance and support for the aircraft throughout the project.
