Abstract
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 ().
