Abstract
This concerns a heating device for an aerodynamic profile (10) including, incorporated into the aerodynamic profile near the leading edge (6) of the aerodynamic profile, several resistive elements forming a first set (18) of resistive elements (14,15) running approximately parallel to the leading edge, arranged in a way to form a de-icing circuit. The device includes in addition a second set (19) of resistive elements (16,17) incorporated into the aerodynamic profile and arranged as an anti-icing circuit. The two circuits (18,19) are independent and the relative positions of their elements are a function of the design of the profile.
