Best Answer

Theoretically, yes. The force in which balances gravity and keeps the plane in air is produced by the relative speed between the air and the plane's wings. When the air is still, the plane has to move (fast!), relative to the air. If the planes is to be static, then the air has to move: really fast. However, winds of such strengths are rather unlikely concerning passanger jets and large planes. For small (model planes, etc), it is hightly possible.

What instrument is used to measure the speed of an airplane?

The speed of an airplane is measured by a system known as the pitot-static system which compares the difference between the static air pressure that exists around the aircraft and the dynamic, or ram air pressure which is a function of the speed the aircraft is moving through the air. The devices used to gather this information are the static air port (which measures static air pressure) and the pitot tube (which measures ram air pressure). This differential is displayed on an instrument in the cockpit called an airspeed indicator (or ASI).


How do aircrafts or petrol tankers prevent the buildup of excessive static electicity?

Airplanes accumulate static electricity when its in the air (air friction). The friction then strips electrons from the atmosphere and causes them to build up on the airplane.

Technically you can not get static electricity from the air. But, static electricity does depend on the air. during the winter, there is more of a chance you will be shocked.
