An aircraft flight surface deicing system includes an electromagnetic field generator (36) and a deicing boot (10) configured for attachment to an aircraft flight surface (12). The boot (10) includes: one or more inflation regions (26) including a first inflation region; one or more magnetic fluid reservoirs (32, 34) in fluid communication with the first inflation region, the one or more fluid reservoirs including a first fluid reservoir; a magnetic fluid (38) contained in a combination of the first inflation regions and the one or more magnetic fluid reservoirs. In a first state, the magnetic fluid (38) is contained in the first fluid reservoir and, in a deicing state, the electromagnetic field generator (36) generates one or more fields that cause the magnetic fluid (38) to exit the first fluid reservoir and travels along a length of the inflation region.
