There is disclosed an engine assembly, including an internal combustion engine having a housing and a coolant circuitry in heat exchange relationship with the housing. A porous surface is configured for defining a portion of an external surface of an aircraft. Apertures are defined through the porous surface. The housing of the internal combustion engine is in heat exchange relationship with the porous surface for heating the porous surface. An air conduit has an inlet fluidly connected to a boundary layer region outside the engine assembly and adjacent the porous surface via the apertures of the porous surface. The air conduit is in heat exchange relationship with the coolant circuitry. A forced air system is fluidly connected to the inlet of the air conduit and is operable to draw an airflow from the inlet and inside the air conduit. A method of operating the engine assembly is disclosed.
