A heating system for a gas turbine engine (10, Fig 1) comprising a nanomaterial heating element 502, an ice detection system (Fig 4), and a heater controller (Fig 4). The ice detection system is configured to transmit a signal to the heater controller to apply a current to the nanomaterial heating element. The nanomaterial heating element may comprise carbon nanotubes. The ice detection system may be based upon an input from a pilot or a sensor which is comprised within the gas turbine engine or airframe.
