Abstract
A method and system for predicting the potential for icing conditions on an outer surface of an airborne aircraft. Such a method and system may predict in real-time the potential for icing conditions on an outer surface of a wing of an autonomous airborne aircraft using observed temperature and relative humidity measurements, either jointly, or also in combination with at least one of (1) an output from at least one additional sensor relevant to the prediction of aircraft icing conditions and (2) a modeled parameter relevant to the prediction of aircraft icing conditions.
