A windshield wiper system for use on a windshield of an aircraft, the windshield wiper system comprising: a wiper comprising a wiper arm and a wiper blade coupled to a first end of the wiper arm; a nozzle coupled to the wiper blade, wherein the nozzle is configured to dispense a fluid; an actuator comprising an output shaft, wherein the output shaft is coupled to a second end of the wiper arm; a controller electrically coupled to each of the actuator, a user interface, and a fluid control unit; and a fluid source fluidly coupled to the nozzle through a fluid line, characterized in that the fluid is chosen from bleed air directed from a gas turbine engine of the aircraft to the nozzle, water directed from a water reservoir to the nozzle, windshield cleaning fluid directed from a windshield cleaning fluid reservoir to the nozzle, and chemical rain repellant directed from a chemical rain repellant reservoir to the nozzle, and wherein the fluid control unit includes: a pump configured to force the fluid to travel from the water reservoir, windshield cleaning fluid reservoir, or the chemical rain repellant reservoir through the fluid line to the nozzle; a bleed air valve configured to allow or prevent bleed air from flowing through the fluid line to the nozzle; a valve configured to control a flow rate of the fluid travelling from the fluid source and through the fluid line; and a heating element configured to increase a temperature of the fluid travelling through the fluid line before the fluid reaches the nozzle. a wiper comprising a wiper arm and a wiper blade coupled to a first end of the wiper arm; a nozzle coupled to the wiper blade, wherein the nozzle is configured to dispense a fluid; an actuator comprising an output shaft, wherein the output shaft is coupled to a second end of the wiper arm; a controller electrically coupled to each of the actuator, a user interface, and a fluid control unit; and a fluid source fluidly coupled to the nozzle through a fluid line, characterized in that the fluid is chosen from bleed air directed from a gas turbine engine of the aircraft to the nozzle, water directed from a water reservoir to the nozzle, windshield cleaning fluid directed from a windshield cleaning fluid reservoir to the nozzle, and chemical rain repellant directed from a chemical rain repellant reservoir to the nozzle, and wherein the fluid control unit includes: a pump configured to force the fluid to travel from the water reservoir, windshield cleaning fluid reservoir, or the chemical rain repellant reservoir through the fluid line to the nozzle; a bleed air valve configured to allow or prevent bleed air from flowing through the fluid line to the nozzle; a valve configured to control a flow rate of the fluid travelling from the fluid source and through the fluid line; and a heating element configured to increase a temperature of the fluid travelling through the fluid line before the fluid reaches the nozzle. a pump configured to force the fluid to travel from the water reservoir, windshield cleaning fluid reservoir, or the chemical rain repellant reservoir through the fluid line to the nozzle; a bleed air valve configured to allow or prevent bleed air from flowing through the fluid line to the nozzle; a valve configured to control a flow rate of the fluid travelling from the fluid source and through the fluid line; and a heating element configured to increase a temperature of the fluid travelling through the fluid line before the fluid reaches the nozzle.
