PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a continuously monitored deicing system.SOLUTION: The continuously monitored deicing system may have a pneumatic deicer (3) and a signal wire (4) running through the pneumatic deicer. The signal wire may break in response to a failure of the pneumatic deicer, such as a torn boot seam (10). A health monitor may check the continuity of the signal wire in order to provide an alert upon detecting such a failure.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 |
