Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide an aircraft anti-icing system that includes an aircraft engine inlet component, a pressurized air source, and a heat source operable to: (1) heat the leading edge of the aircraft engine inlet component via the heat source to prevent ice formation on the outer surface of the leading edge; and (2) direct pressurized air from the pressurized air source so that it forces water off of the outer surface of the inlet components (and into the external air flow) as the water travels downstream from the leading edge outer surface downstream toward the trailing edge, which prevents runback ice formation.
