Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide an aircraft anti-icing system that includes an aircraft engine inlet component, a pressurized air source, and a heat source operable to: (1) heat the leading edge of the aircraft engine inlet component via the heat source to prevent ice formation on the outer surface of the leading edge; and (2) direct pressurized air from the pressurized air source so that it forces water off of the outer surface of the inlet components (and into the external air flow) as the water travels downstream from the leading edge outer surface downstream toward the trailing edge, which prevents runback ice formation.

Abstract: An exhaust device is disclosed that includes a duct that turns an exhaust flow from a gas turbine engine from a first direction to a second direction. A diverter cup is disposed within the duct and serves to split the exhaust flow into two streams as well as introduce cooling air through an ejector pump at the downstream end of the diverter cup. A splitter is disposed downstream of the diverter cup and serves to split the cooling air into two streams which are thereafter mixed with the split exhaust flow. A diffuser is created in the exhaust device between the duct and the splitter. Various cooling slots are also provided in the duct.
