Aircraft become charged statically during flight due to these two phenomena - 1.Preciptation charge (due to frictional contact with rain particle,snow n ice crystals ,dust,smoke n other air contamination .) 2.Electrostatic induction -It induces into aircraft when flying into electric fields created by certain types of cloud formation .these effects can induce thousands of volts in aircraft's body.

Why can metals such as copper and silver become charged by induction while plastic materials cannot?
Metals have one or two( or at the most three as in case of aluminium ) free electrons in outer orbit witch they want to give away to have saturated inner orbit so they become charged by induction. Plastic being carbon polymer have four electrons in outer orbit and does not want to give electrons or it will remain with only two electrons left as compared to six protons making it highly electrically positive. Plastic material cannot become charged.
What are atoms respective charges?
The nucleolus of an atom is positively charged while it's "shell" (the electron cloud surrounding the protons) are negatively charged.
What are the differences between proton and electron?
proton is positivley charged and id inside the nucleus of an atom, while a electron is negativley charged and orbits the nucleus.
Can objects be charged by induction?
I'm really not sure, however I know that when charging by induction, the electrons repel during induction, due to grounding an object. The charge that an object has when it is charged by induction varies depending on the amount of electrons taken away. When an object is charged by induction, the object has the opposite charge of the object inducing the charge.
What occurs between 2 unlike charges?
When two unlike charges are brought together they will attract. This is because one is usually negatively charged while the other one is usually positively charged.
Why do airplanes get electrically charged while flying?
Answeryes ... sometimes quite severely.partly from flying through charged clouds,and partly from just the friction from the air as the plane passes through it.
Do airplanes dump urine out while flying over land?
Through pipes
Do airplanes dump potable water?
Yes but they filter out solids. And this is done while flying over great lakes?
What does the trim knob on air hogs RC airplanes do?
The trim stops the plane from spinning around in the air while flying.
Can someone whose been charged with crimes become AA FBI agent?
Probably not. While there should be no 'bar' because you have been charged, the realist is that the FBI has many,many applicants who have never been charged.
Can a laptop battery become overcharged while using it?
A laptop battery can be charged while using it, but it would not be likely to become overcharged when the laptop is in use, unless the laptop goes into a sleep or dormant state.
What kind of suit is a flight suit?
A flight suit is worn while flying in an aircraft like a helicopter, and military airplanes. These full body garments are made to protect the wearer from fire, as well as to stay warm.
What age is appropriate to begin building hobby airplanes?
i think that the appropriate age to start flying a hobby airplane is about 13 and on because young children could hurt themselves while using a hobby airplane
Do albratrosses sleep while flying?
Yes the albratross sleeps while its flying.
What do atoms become when they lose or gain an electron?
a negative ion... this was Ben McClanahan for you A+ people out there :))
Do black birds talk while flying?
If your talking about crows then yes, they caw while flying.
What are ionized particles?
Ionised particles are particles that carry a positive or negative charge. This is due to the loss or gain of an electron or electrons. Losing an electron will cause a particle to become more positively charged, while gaining an electron will cause a particle to become more negatively charged.
