The Jedi Ace project is striving to improve on current techniques designed to keep the wings of flying aircraft free of ice. It has developed new coatings that will make it harder for freezing water to adhere, and designed innovative sensors that will help to detect any ice that has begun to form. It has also looked into ways to improve on current approaches for heating systems designed to keep wings clear.
