A turboprop powered aircraft having a cowling or nacelle surrounding the engine, said cowling incorporates an air inlet and internal ducting to the engine wherein the inlet incorporated anti-icing ducts, said inlet shape has a closed oval or other non-circular shape that is not coaxial to the engine propeller drive shaft. Inlet anti-icing heating duct means are provided for channeling a portion of the engine's exhaust to the interior of the inlet rim. A further improvement in inlet efficiency can be achieved by reducing the thickness of the inlet cross-section, but this results in less space available for the hot exhaust connections.
