An anti-icing system for inhibiting the formation of ice upon the leading edge of an aircraft wing during flight. The anti-icing system includes an elongate support member that is attachable to a leading edge of an aircraft wing, and a plurality of flexible fibers secured within the elongate support member. The flexible fibers oscillate and move about the surface of the leading edge and portions of the top surface of the wing during flight due to the airflow about the wing. The movement of the flexible fibers moves accumulated water thereby assisting in the dispersing of the water from the wing and reducing the likelihood of the water freezing upon the wing. The movement of the flexible fibers also assists in removing any accumulated ice upon the wing prior to flight. The flexible fibers are preferably constructed of a flexible material such as but not limited to plastic.
