An ice-protection system for an aerodynamic structure for an aircraft comprising: an outer skin defined by a leading edge point and a trailing edge point that are interconnected by an upper skin and a lower skin, an internal chamber defined within the outer skin configured to be in fluid communication with the atmosphere external to the outer skin via an inlet and an outlet, and at least one air heater provided within the chamber in proximity to the inlet, wherein during use, a pressure differential exists between the inlet and the outlet that causes external air to flow through the chamber from the inlet to the outlet, and wherein the heater is configured to heat the air passing through the inlet such that the temperature of the air in the chamber is sufficiently increased so as to prevent ice accretion on the outer skin.
