Abstract
Ice may form along the leading edge of an aircraft wing or horizontal and vertical stabilizers. A pneumatic deicer system may be configured to inflate and dislodge ice along the leading edge of lift and control surfaces. The pneumatic deicer system may comprise a laser welded deicing boot attached to the leading edge. The compressed air can be directed to the deicing boot, inflating the deicing boot along inflatable tubes formed by laser welds, which can crack and dislodge the ice. A method of manufacturing a laser welded pneumatic deicer boot is also disclosed.
