  "textContent": "A system and method are provided for preventing the formation of ice on or removing ice from an internal surface of a turbofan engine. A splitter region (18), associated with a booster compressor of the turbofan engine, is identified. The splitter region (18) has surfaces internal to the turbofan engine subject to inlet icing conditions. A resin (26) is molded along a leading edge of the splitter region (18), and electric coils (24) are installed within the resin (26) to prevent ice build-up on the splitter region (18) or to remove ice from the splitter region (18) during icing conditions.",
