Thermo-Mechanical Expulsion Deicing System - TMEDS * Kamel Al-Khalil, Ph.D. Cox and Company, Inc., New York, NY, 10014 A new type of hybrid ice protection system was developed to protect leading edge regions of airfoils that can tolerate low levels of ice accumulation during flight. The system consists of an electro-thermal deicing subsystem and a low power expulsive deicing subsystem. They are co-located beneath a semi-rigid aircraft leading edge skin and operated in harmony to limit inter-cycle ice accumulation thickness to below a prescribed limit and to prevent the formation of ice ridges downstream.
