A system and method for ice protection of a component, wherein the system is adapted to be adhesively bonded to a surface of the component. The system includes a heating element layer, at least one thermally conductive adhesive layer that adhesively bonds a first side of the heating element layer to the component, an insulation layer, at least one thermally insulating adhesive layer that adhesively bonds a second side of the heating element to the insulation layer, an electrical bus bar adapted to provide a connection between a power supply and the heating element layer, and at least one temperature sensor.

Aircraft ice protection system and method

A nacelle inlet lip () for an aircraft engine () comprises a structural body () and an ice protection system (). The ice protection system () comprises a plurality of ice-protectors () independently controllable to allow inner zones () to be operated in different modes, different power levels, different time intervals and/or different energy amounts. In this manner, an inner aft zone (), an inner mid zone (), and an inner aft zone () can be anti-iced and/or de-iced to best preserve desired airflow patterns, to minimize ice particle shed size, and to optimize power consumption.

Aircraft engine nacelle ice protection system

An aircraft wing () comprising a structural casing () defining a leading edge, a fuel cell () within the structural casing (), a deicer () having electrical lines which receive a supply of electrical power from an onboard power source, and a trip line (). The trip line () is positioned to receive early contact upon impact of the wing by a bird or other foreign object and disruption of the trip line triggers termination of the supply of electrical power to the deicer ().
