Excellent article.

Perhaps additional certification tests for engines need to be introduced in the light of this issue? Icing conditions can be simulated by flying the test subject behind e.g. a modified KC135 http://www.globalsecurity.org/milita...c-135r-ait.htm. I wonder whether a modification to this system might be able to simulate the conditions described in the article?
