Results of theoretical and experimental investigations of the efficiency of an integral electrothermal anti-ice system based on fluoroplastic films are presented. It is shown that the use of this system makes it possible to decrease the energy expended for the de-icing by 30% as compared to the existing electrothermal anti-ice systems and that an integral electrothermal anti-ice system can be used in small and midget aircrafts including unmanned ones.
