Ice is a significant challenge to the safety of aviation.
Ice on runways, ice on wings - these safety issues affect all of us as Canadian travellers. This alliance shares the common purpose of improving aircraft transportation safety for the travelling public. I believe this alliance will be an outstanding example of an international research partnership for the new millennium. Since 1916, NRC's goal has been to improve life for Canadians by performing and supporting relevant research and development. Working with other progressive organizations, NRC is helping to bridge the gap between strategic research and wealth creation.
