ABSTRACT:
A method for operating an aircraft engine facilitates preventing ice accumulation on the aircraft engine. The method comprises coupling a semi-permeable membrane to the engine adjacent an outer surface of the engine, coupling a fluid reservoir to the aircraft engine in flow communication with the semi-permeable membrane, and supplying fluid from the fluid reservoir to the semi-permeable membrane to facilitate preventing ice accumulation on the aircraft engine outer surface.
