Summary

A "Selected Bibliography of NACA-NASA Icing Publications" identified 132 publications in 17 categories.

Discussion

Publications

This title was published three times.

The first was in 1969 in the "Aircraft Ice Protection Report of Symposium" 1 as "Selected Bibliography of NACA-NASA Unclassified Icing Publications". It was not credited, but immediately followed a paper by Vernon Gray.

The second publication was in 1971 as part of FAA Advisory Circular 20-73 "Aircraft Ice Protection" 2, as "APPENDIX 2. SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF UNCLASSIFIED NASA-NACA AIRCRAFT ICING REPORT". It was not otherwise credited. It was not included in the 2006 revision AC 20-73A 3.

The third publication was in 1981 in NASA-TM-81651 4. NASA-TM-81651 includes a reprint of Uwe von Glahn's "The Icing Problem: Current Status of NACA Techniques and Research" from 1955 5. That is followed by "Selected Bibliography of NACA-NASA Icing Publications", which is again not credited, but the "Foreword" attributes it to Uwe von Glahn. The third publication includes the abstracts of all 132 publications.

As the list of abstracts did not reproduce well in NASA-TM-81651, the abstracts are reformatted in text at Abstracts for The Historical Selected Bibliography of NACA-NASA Icing Publications.

The bibliographic lists are substantially similar in the three publications. Minor differences include different numberings, and some references are updated, such as "Summary of Statistical Icing Cloud Data Measured Over United States and North Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic Ocean During Routine Aircraft Operations" was updated from "NASA Memo CCE-169" to "NASA Memo 1-19-59E".

Requests for data

In the "Foreword" of 4, Jack Reimann writes:

In the 1978 Aircraft Icing Workshop the recommendation was made that before attacking what appeared to be a new icing problem we should study the icing work of the 1940's and 50's. The documents of that period were so old, however, that they were not listed in the modern computerized library search systems, and some of these documents were out of print. Fortunately, U. H. von Glahn had prepared a selected bibliography of the NACA-NASA publications in aircraft icing. This bibliography was furnished to those who requested information about the NACA works. But some of the citations in the bibliography were those that were out of print.

In 1979, both the AGARD Working Group (WG-09) on Rotorcraft Icing and the Helicopter Icing Panel SAE AC-9 Committee urged NASA to reissue the publications cited in von Glahn's bibliography. Concurrently, industry and other government organizations requested that these reports be reissued. The present report was prepared in response to those requests.

Note the requests from expert groups for 30+ year-old NACA icing data.

Also note "The documents were so old, however, that they were not listed in the modern computerized library search systems, and some of these documents were out of print." Modern online searches, such as scholar.google.com, commonly miss many NACA citations. Most of the NACA publications are available only as image scans, and some of them of poor quality, from which the text is difficult extract accurately.

Ironically, the quality of the online version of NASA-TM-81651 4 is not good, so the text was not accurately parsed by computer (numerous manual corrections of scanned text were required to produce the listings below).

Publications not in the NTRS

While most of the NACA publications are available at the NTRS 6, some are not. The publications that I could not find copies of on the NTRS are:

  • Two references to NASA-TM-X-54700, which purportedly documents the “Compilation of the Paper Presented at NACA Conference on Some Problems of Aircraft Operation". However, the citation NASA-TM-X-54700 appears to be an error, as on the ntrs it is listed as “Space radiation- a compilation and discussion”. The “Compilation of the Paper Presented at NACA Conference on Some Problems of Aircraft Operation" is available as a print book.
