A heated wiper assembly includes a wiping element adapted to contact a surface to be wiped. The heated wiper assembly also includes at least one elongated beam acting to support the wiping element. The heated wiper assembly further includes a pair of end caps operatively mounted to ends of the beam and an airfoil operatively mounted to the beam and extending between the end caps. The heated wiper assembly includes a plurality of heating elements extending longitudinally along lateral sides of the airfoil adjacent the wiping element to heat the wiping element to resist snow and ice build-up on the wiper assembly.
