ABSTRACT:
A pneumatic deicing system for deicing an airfoil includes a flexible deicing member having inflatable tube-like passages provided therein for being inflated with a pressurized fluid, wherein the deicing member is bonded to a shell having a snap type connector for mating with another connector either on the airfoil or integrated into another part of the shell. An air connector extends through the shell and is utilized for putting the deicing member in fluid connection with the fluid source. Radar absorptive material may be disposed between the shell and the deicing member for reducing the radar cross section of the airfoil.
