Brian Woodard's research focuses on how ice buildup on aircraft wings, especially swept wings, affects aerodynamic performance. His work combines wind tunnel experiments and geometric analysis of ice shapes to understand and simulate icing effects on flight safety, largely in collaboration with aerospace research programs such as NASA's icing studies.
