Abstract
A flow body for an aircraft is disclosed having a stiffening structure and a flow surface at least partially enclosing the stiffening structure, the flow surface having a leading edge and a trailing edge at a distance to each other in a chordwise direction, the flow body including a first heating device attached to or integrated into the flow surface in a first chordwise section, a second heating device attached to or integrated into the surface body in a second chordwise section. The first chordwise section and the second chordwise section are distanced from each other, the first chordwise section is closer to the leading edge than the second chordwise section, and at least the second heating device comprises an electric heater.
