During landing, a plane generates static electricity due to friction between its surface and the air. To safely discharge this static charge, the aircraft is equipped with static dischargers, typically located on the wingtips and tail. These devices create a conductive path that allows the accumulated charge to flow to the ground, preventing the buildup of voltage that could lead to sparks or interference with onboard instruments. Additionally, the plane's landing gear is designed to maintain electrical contact with the ground, further facilitating the safe dissipation of charge.
What else can I help you with?
What of the speed of a landing gear wheel during landing?
Most wheels are not "spun up" prior to landing, and go from zero rpm to that of the plane's touchdown speed almost immediately upon contact with the ground.
What do you call the person that guides the planes to their landing?
The person who guides planes to their landing is called a "ground controller" or "air traffic controller." They are responsible for ensuring the safe and efficient movement of aircraft on the ground and in the airspace around airports. Ground controllers use radar and communication systems to provide instructions to pilots during landing and takeoff procedures.
Is cloud and ground charge after and during a lightning strike static electricity?
Before and after - yes, but not during.

What is unconventional landing gear?
· Conventional landing gear uses wheels to bear the weight of the plane on the ground. Planes use unconventional landing gear when they're not going to be landing on flat ground. They use pontoons to land on water and skis to land on snow.
What can helicopters land on?
Basically, Helicopters Landing is of Two Types, One is Skid Landing, Wheel Landing. Skid Landing is used for Army, Civil, Ambulance etc.. This type of landing will be on Ground. Wheel Landing is for Navy, where landing will be on Ships.
Why do bats avoid landing on the ground?
yes ye they do
What is ground roll?
The distance the aircraft travels on the ground before lifting off, or the same when landing.
Does lightning strike from the sky or ground?
Actually it does BUT it also comes down from the clouds. Now A positive charge is sent up when the negative charge is sent down. They meet but we only see the one sent up because it is slower.
What is the charge on a conductor connected to "ground"?
When a conductor is connected to "ground," it becomes neutral and carries no charge.
What is it called when you hit the ground?
Hitting the ground is commonly referred to as falling or landing, depending on the context in which it occurs.
