Zusammenfassung:	An ice prevention system (111) is configured to prevent ice from forming and/or melt ice with respect to one or more portions of an aircraft (10). The ice prevention system (111) includes a combustor (116) having an air inlet (118) and a gas outlet (128). A supply air conduit (112) is coupled to the air inlet (118) of the combustor (116). The supply air conduit (112) is configured to channel low pressure air to the combustor (116). One or more delivery conduits are coupled to the gas outlet (128) of the combustor (116). The delivery conduit(s) are configured to be coupled to the one or more portions of the aircraft (10). The combustor (116) is configured to exhaust heated gas to the delivery conduit(s) through the gas outlet (128) to prevent ice from forming with respect to the portion(s) of the aircraft (10).
