METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING ICE FORMATION ON In one aspect, methods of detecting ice formation on an aircraft are described herein. In some implementations, a method of detecting ice formation on an aircraft comprises disposing an ice detector (100) on an exterior surface of the aircraft, the ice detector (100) comprising a probe surface (110) and a pyroelectric material layer (120) disposed on at least a portion of the probe surface (110). The method further comprises generating a charge on a surface of the pyroelectric material layer (120) of the ice detector (100) to increase the local freezing point of water on the surface of the pyroelectric material layer (120). 210 F110 200
