The present invention refers to an airfoil of an aircraft with an ice protection system, the airfoil having a leading edge, the ice protection system comprising a first applying mechanism for applying an ice protection fluid along at least a portion of the leading edge of the airfoil, and an ice protection fluid recovering mechanism for recovering the ice protection fluid applied by the first applying mechanism, the ice protection fluid recovering mechanism being arranged downstream of the leading edge of the airfoil. It is the object of the present patent application to provide an airfoil with an ice protection system which overcomes the disadvantages known from the state of the art, and which, in particular, leads to reduced power consumption and/or reduced weight of the ice protection system. This object is solved by an airfoil as described above, wherein the ice protection system further comprises a second applying mechanism for applying the ice protection fluid recovered by the ice protection fluid recovering mechanism on at least one area of the airfoil arranged downstream of the leading edge of the airfoil. Furthermore, the present patent application also refers to an aircraft comprising at least one airfoil provided with the ice protection system and to a method of ice protecting an airfoil of an aircraft.
