1. An airfoil comprising a capacitor comprising a CNT resistive heater layer, a layer comprising a carbon composite or metal surface, and a dielectric layer disposed between the CNT resistive layer and the carbon composite or metal surface;
and further comprising a first electrical lead connected to the CNT resistive heater layer, and a second electrical lead connected to the layer comprising a carbon composite or metal surface; and
wherein the carbon composite or metal surface forms a structural component of the airfoil.
