Abstract
An ice-management method for an aircraft includes scavenging torque from a mast of the aircraft with a system that is configured to provide an ice-management capability. The method includes using the scavenged torque to impart a vibratory force to an arm of the system and imparting the vibratory force from the arm to an inner surface of a spinner of the aircraft via a contact of the arm.
