<p>An aircraft engine generates engine power by burning hydrocarbon fuel such as Jet-A. A minute quantity of the fuel is burned in such a manner as to generate no engine power, and the heat generated by the burning fuel is used to protect region of a surface of a component of an aircraft. In one application, burner assemblies (B10A, B10B, B10C, B10D) are located inside the splitter (10') of a turbofan engine (2) and the heat generated is used to deice or anti-ice the splitter and the inlet guide vanes (28 ') of the engine. In another application, burner assemblies are located in an engine nacelle to deice or anti-ice the leading edge of the nacelle.</p> |
