A de-icing assembly for a surface of an aircraft includes: a carcass with a first layer, a second layer, and a carcass centerline and a plurality of seams sewn into the carcass, wherein the plurality of seams join the first and second layers of the carcass together. The assembly includes a plurality of inflation passages formed by the plurality of seams and disposed between the first and second layers of the carcass. The system also includes a manifold fluidly connected to and disposed beneath the carcass, the manifold comprising a width and a manifold centerline oriented approximately perpendicular or parallel to the carcass centerline. The seams are sown by a stitchline formed of carbon nanotube yarn.
