Ultra is the leader for aerospace electro-thermal ice protection systems with solutions for wing and engine inlet ice protection. The function of the Wing Ice Protection System (WIPS) is to provide electrothermal ice protection to an area of the aircraft wing leading edge slats.

Oct 30, 2007 · Devised by Boeing, GKN Aerospace and Ultra, and for the first time, approved by the FAA, the emphasis has been to thoroughly and comprehensively test the WIPS system in simulated circumstances, pre-flight trails.

The GKN/Ultra electro-thermal Wing Ice Protection System (WIPS) for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which will be the first all electro-thermal anti-ice / de-ice system to be qualified for use on a civil airliner, has successfully completed a 30 month program of icing tunnel tests in the Boeing Research Aircraft Icing Tunnel (BRAIT).

Nov 1, 2006 · Boeing's 787 will feature a lightweight, electro-thermal anti-icing system designed, developed and manufactured jointly by Ultra Electronics and GKN Aerospace. The system comprises electrically...

Dec 30, 2008 · For the 787, V-22 and F-35, GKN embeds its spray-on metal material in what it calls a heater mat. The heater mat is a cured, multi-ply composite structure of carbon fiber, glass fiber and the spray-on metal, shaped in or on a tool to match the surface for which it is providing deicing capability.

GKN Ltd is a British multinational automotive and aerospace components business headquartered in Redditch, England. It was a long-running business known for many decades as Guest, Keen and Nettlefolds. It can trace its origins back to 1759 and the birth of the Industrial Revolution.

Electro-thermal ice protection system for the B-787 The GKN/Ultra electro-thermal Wing Ice Protection System (WIPS) for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which is believed to be the first all electro- thermal anti-ice/de-ice system to be qualified for use on a civil airliner, has successfully completed a 30-month program of icing tunnel tests in the ...

Jan 12, 2011 · The complete Wing Ice Protection System for the Boeing Dreamliner is a joint project between GKN Aerospace and Ultra Electronics, which provides the System controller. The System will provide electro-thermal ice protection to the leading edge slats of the aircraft wing.

GKN Aerospace selected in two of Clean Aviation's 20 bold projects – OFELIA and SWITCH – developing innovative solutions for the next generation of ultra-efficient medium-range aircraft with 30% lower fuel consumption.
