Abstract

In order to maintain a surface region of an aircraft free of ice in a particularly energy-efficient manner, a device for deicing and/or for preventing ice formation is provided on an aircraft. The device includes a heat emitting device for emitting heat at a surface region of the aircraft, the heat emitting device is designed to dissipate heat along a line in order to produce a predetermined breaking point or a predetermined breaking line or parting line in ice accumulating on the surface region.
