    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure include a de-icing system for an aircraft. The de-icing system includes a plurality of resistive-inductive heating elements inserted adjacent to a flight control surface and a controller configured to provide a supply current to each of the plurality of resistive-inductive heating elements. Each of the plurality of resistive-inductive heating elements produces an electromagnetic field normal to the flight control surfaces and resistive heat in response to the supply current. The electromagnetic field induces an eddy current in the flight control surface.

    Abstract: A compact heat exchanger is provided and includes a first manifold defining an inlet for receiving from a component a fluid to be cooled and an outlet for returning the cooled fluid to the component to cool the component. A second manifold is disposed spaced from the first manifold. A core extends between and fluidly communicates with the manifolds and includes hexagonal channels. Each channel is formed by mini-tubes defining respective triangular passages. A cross-section of the core defines an irregular-cross structure. The fluid enters the inlet of the first manifold, makes a first pass through the mini-tubes to the second manifold, makes a second pass through the mini-tubes to the first manifold such that the fluid is cooled across the mini-tubes, exits the first manifold through the outlet, and returns to the component to cool the component. A method of manufacturing the heat exchanger is provided also.

    Abstract: An aircraft propeller de-icing system comprises at least one propeller blade coupled to a rotatable prop assembly. The prop assembly is configured to rotate in response to rotatably driving a propeller shaft. At least one resistive-inductive heating unit is coupled to the at least one propeller blade. The resistive-inductive heating unit is configured to generate eddy currents that induce inductive heat in response to an electric current. A contactless power transfer system generates the electrical current in response to transferring power across an air gap separating the propeller shaft from the contactless power transfer system.

    Abstract: A rotor body for a high-speed generator includes a rotor body with interior and exterior surfaces, a coolant inlet and outlet, and a rotor cooling path for actively cooling the rotor body. The coolant inlet and outlet extend between the interior and exterior surfaces. An interior segment of the rotor cooling path fluidly couples the coolant inlet and coolant outlet and is bounded by the rotor body interior surface. An exterior segment of the cooling path is bounded by the rotor body exterior surface and fluidly couples the coolant outlet an environment external to the rotor body.
