Mechanical Test Engineer in the Icing Research Tunnel, IRT Co...
The Icing Research Tunnel (IRT) is the longest running, icing facility in the world and has been in operation since 1944. Most ice protection technologies in use today were largely developed at this facility. In this facility, natural icing conditions, such as the clouds being created here, are produced to test the effects of icing conditions on aircraft components such as wings tails and engine inlets.
