Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for averting, shedding, or otherwise managing ice accretions that may develop during flight of an aircraft. Example systems and methods direct oil from a lubrication and cooling path to targeted sections of ice-prone surfaces to manage ice accretion in a way that does not unduly increase the total volume of oil, require larger pumps, or complicate the system.
