Yes, and this is dispersed through static wicks on the landing gear which discharge static charges into the ground on landing. Fuel tankers are also fitted with ground-lines which are connected to the aircraft before re- fueling takes place.

Why the aircraft should be earthed?

As aircraft fly through the air, the friction causes them to become charged with static electricity. After an aircraft has landed there is a possibility of charges escaping to earth as a spark. Therefore, the aircraft should be earthed with a conductor as soon as it lands, allowing the charge that has built up to flow to earth.


How do airplanes become charged up while flying?

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.


What are some ways in which an object can become charged?

Some ways in which an object can become charged are friction, contact and induction.

Can objects become charged by induction?

Yes, objects can become charged by induction. When a charged object is brought near a neutral object, the charges in the neutral object rearrange, causing one side to become oppositely charged. This process is known as induction, and it can result in the neutral object becoming charged temporarily.


How does matter become chaged?

Matter becomes charged by gaining or losing electrons. When an atom gains or loses electrons, it becomes charged and is referred to as an ion. Atoms with an excess of electrons become negatively charged, while atoms with a deficit of electrons become positively charged.


If a charged rod is brought close to an electroscope and then removed the electroscope will become?

How does an atom become a positively charged ion?

An atom becomes a positively charged ion when it loses one or more electrons.


If a bromine atom were to attract an extra electrons from potassium the potassium atom would become charged?

The potassium atom would become positively charged - or a cation.


How do you become a aircraft engineer?

When two objects become charged by contact what is true?

When two objects become charged by contact, electrons transfer from one object to the other, causing one object to become positively charged and the other to become negatively charged. This transfer of electrons results in an imbalance of charges between the two objects, leading to an attractive force between them.


Which materials tend to become positively charged?

Materials that tend to become positively charged include materials that easily lose electrons, such as rubber, glass, and human hair. When these materials gain excess protons (positively charged particles) through contact or friction, they become positively charged.
