Published on: 12 October 2023

Aircraft icing remains a key aviation hazard as the global fleet of aircraft in various sectors continues to expand, posing a serious threat to flight safety. As previously stated, the growth of this type of aircraft has been accompanied by an increase in noise levels, and aircraft is reportedly the second most bothersome noise source after traffic. However, integrating an acoustic liner with anti-icing techniques on the leading edge of a nacelle would not efficiently eliminate forward radiated noise and improve the thermal performance of the anti-icing system. Hence, it is of the utmost importance to research the integration of ice protection and noise abatement systems for aircraft applications. This review discusses the integration of ice accretion and noise abatement systems in aircraft applications. The prominence of this review is to explain significant features such as ice protection systems, Computational Fluid Dynamics in ice protection, noise abatement systems, and the integration of ice protection systems and noise abatement systems wherever they are described.
