| 20120091276 | ENERGY-EFFICIENT ELECTRO-THERMAL AND ELECTRO-MECHANICAL ICE-PROTECTION METHOD - A region of an airfoil to be protected from accreted ice is heated to reduce the strength of the bond between the ice and the airfoil, and is mechanically deformed to shed the accreted ice after the bond has been sufficiently weakened. Heating ceases before substantial water runback is generated. The mechanical deformation and the cessation of heating occur approximately simultaneously. | 04-19-2012 |
