Abstract: The present disclosure provides for ice protection heater assemblies, and related methods of fabrication and use. More particularly, the present disclosure provides for chordwise ice protection heater assemblies for aircraft or the like. The heater assemblies provide that the heater zones for the ice protection heater assembly are designed such that the electricity mainly flows along the chord of the aircraft component (e.g., wing). This puts the electrical connection points above and below as well as behind the stagnation point of the aircraft component. The electrical connection points are thus behind the area to be protected from icing via the heater assembly.

Abstract: An aircraft wing may comprise an airfoil having deicing zone, an anti-icing zone, and an ice runback control zone. An aircraft wing may comprise an electro-thermal ice protection system disposed in the aircraft wing. The electro-thermal ice protection system may be disposed along the deicing, anti-icing, and ice runback control zones of the airfoil to improve aerodynamic performance of the aircraft and reduce ice formation along the wings of the aircraft.

Abstract: A multilayer heating structure for controlling ice accumulation on a surface of an aircraft includes a carbon nano-tube (CNT) heater. The heater includes: a CNT layer; a first encapsulation layer disposed on a first side of the CNT layer formed of a first encapsulation layer thermoplastic material; and a second encapsulation layer disposed on a second side of the CNT layer formed of a second encapsulation layer thermoplastic material. The structure further includes for and aft composite structures. The first and second encapsulation layer thermoplastic materials have higher melting temperatures that one or both the fore composite structure thermoplastic material and the aft composite structure thermoplastic material.
