Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed for preventing formation of ice on an engine. Apparatus may include a nozzle housing coupled to a compression stage of the engine and further coupled to a leading edge housing of the engine. The nozzle housing may receive gases from the compression stage of the engine. The nozzle housing may include a first nozzle that may be configured to generate a first flow pattern and may be further configured to generate a first flow of a first portion of the gases into the leading edge housing based on the first flow pattern. The nozzle housing may also include a second nozzle that includes a concentric nozzle configured to generate a second flow pattern. The second nozzle may be configured to generate a second flow of a second portion of the gases into the leading edge housing based on the second flow pattern.
