An aircraft includes a fuselage and wings mounted on opposite sides of the fuselage for sustained forward flight. An engine is mounted in the fuselage or at least one of the wings and includes an air intake. At least a portion of the air intake generally faces the forward direction for receiving intake air during forward flight. A filter assembly is mounted adjacent the air intake and disposed to impinge air and block objects from passing therethrough. A heated screen includes a heater and is mounted adjacent the air intake and upstream of the engine such that ice entering the air intake contacts the heated screen before entering the engine. A power source is provided to supply power to the heater.
