An aircraft flight surface deicing system includes an electromagnetic field generator and a deicing boot configured for attachment to an aircraft flight surface. The boot includes: one or more inflation regions including a first inflation region; one or more magnetic fluid reservoirs in fluid communication with the first inflation region, the one or more fluid reservoirs including a first fluid reservoir; a magnetic fluid contained in a combination of the first inflation regions and the one or more magnetic fluid reservoirs. In a first state, the magnetic fluid is contained in the first fluid reservoir and, in a deicing state, the electromagnetic field generator generates one or more fields that cause the magnetic fluid to exit the first fluid reservoir and travels along a length of the inflation region.
