RESISTIVE-INDUCTIVE DE-ICING OF AIRCRAFT FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACES

摘要

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.
