An aircraft engine (12) configured to controllably shed ice during icing conditions is presented. The engine has a fan member (14) operating at a first angular velocity having a surface (18) divided into a first ice accumulating surface (20) configured to collect ice, and a first shadow surface (22) configured to resist the collection of ice. A first flange (16) is disposed between the first ice accumulating surface and the first shadow surface.
