ABSTRACT:
An inflatable deicer having deicing tubes formed by adjacent rows of stitching between inner and outer plies with a manifold tube intersecting and extending across the deicing tubes. The stitching of the deicing tubes is turned at the edges of the manifold to reinforce the edges of the manifold tube. The deicing tubes are narrow and the inflation pressure is high for a short activation time at relatively long intervals to shed thin ice.
