Hybrid Airfoil Design Methods for Full-Scale Ice Accretion Simulation
… that allows the design of ""subscale"" or ""hybrid"" airfoils that simulate fullscale ice accretions. These subscale or hybrid airfoils have full-scale leading edges and redesigned aft-sections. A preliminary study to help develop a design philosophy for the design of hybrid airfoils showed …

Use of hybrid airfoil design in icing wind tunnel tests of large scale swept wings
… ice accretion wind tunnel testing difficult. Hybrid or truncated airfoil models use full-scale leading edges with redesigned aft sections to provide test articles with much reduced model chord and therefore tunnel blockage allowing effectively full-scale icing testing on very large wings. This …

Design of 3D swept wing hybrid models for icing wind tunnel tests
… blockage. This type of model is referred to as a hybrid and its biggest advantage lies in the fact that it is designed to produce full-scale ice shapes, while reducing or even eliminating the need for icing scaling. While a design method for a straight, untapered hybrid wing is well documented and …
