DLR to flight test experimental vibrational anti-icing system on clean-sheet all-electric ducted-fan gyrocopter Germany’s DLR will conduct flight trials of an experimental vibrational anti-icing system intended for a clean-sheet, all-electric, ducted-fan gyrocopter concept. The test targets practical in-flight ice protection for next-generation electric rotorcraft, using on-aircraft validation rather than ground-only demonstrations.
