An aircraft component assembly has a structural body and a thermal management de-icing system for minimizing or preventing ice build-up on leading edges of the body. The system includes a supply line for flowing heated fluid to the leading edges and a cooling device that interposes the supply line to prevent overheating of the leading edges thus protecting bodies that may be made of composite materials that are more susceptible to heat.

De-icing system with thermal management

Systems and methods for detecting damage in composite components are disclosed. A first attachment feature and a second attachment feature may be coupled to a composite component. A transmitting device may be coupled to the first attachment feature. A receiving device may be coupled to the second attachment feature. A signal may be transmitted from the transmitting device, through the first attachment feature, through the composite component, and through the second attachment feature to the receiving device. The signal may be analyzed to detect damage in the composite component.
