Bleed air deicers

"Bleed air" is a terminology used by jet or turbine-powered aircraft that use some of the compressed air from their own compressors for various purposes. Among those is the "bleed air deicer". I'm not clear on how a piston-engine aircraft can even have bleed air to power deicers, as stated in the article. Perhaps it has oversized turbochargers and it's bled off from that? The only other thing I can think of is that it has an air compressor specifically to compress air to deice the wings. If it's the former, it would be nice to have it explained, if it's the second, it's not technically bleed air, and therefore not technically a bleed air deicer. One could say "it used air to deice the wings, similar to a bleed air deicer", but it is not a bleed air deicer if it's not a turbine-powered aircraft. — Preceding unsigned comment added by .45Colt (talk • contribs) 14:51, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
