Abstract
A nacelle for a gas turbine engine, the nacelle includes an inlet axially forward of a fan section. The inlet includes an interior surface. A leading edge includes an inlet cavity. A first conduit communicates airflow to the inlet cavity for preventing accretion of ice on the leading edge. An inlet duct is open to the interior surface aft of the inlet cavity. A second conduit is in fluid communication with the first conduit and the inlet duct. The second conduit communicates airflow to the inlet duct for generating film heating airflow over the interior surface for preventing ice accretion. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
