ABSTRACT:
A system is provided for preventing and removing ice accumulation from the leading edges of an inlet cowl of an aircraft gas turbine engine. High pressure, high temperature air, preferrably from a port on the engine compressor, is provided to an annular duct located within an annular chamber formed at the leading edge of the inlet cowl. A plurality of air ejector nozzles are spaced about the air duct and function to direct anti-icing air at a supersonic velocity toward the forward inboard surface of the inlet cowl and create a swirling air mass within the annular chamber.
