1. An air data probe comprising:
a faceplate;
a body connected to the faceplate; and
a heating system comprising an electromagnet that includes:
a magnetic core connected to the faceplate; and
a coil wrapped around the magnetic core;
wherein the coil and the magnetic core generate an electromagnetic field that couples with the body to heat the body; and
wherein the body comprises an interactive material that couples with the electromagnetic field and produces eddy currents to heat the body.
