Static Wicks On Aircraft at Blake Seay blog

Static Wicks On Aircraft. The static wicks—sometimes known as static dischargers—are often attached to the thinnest metal surfaces on the aircraft such as the horizontal stabilizer and. But it’s not simply a matter of slapping a wick to the airframe and calling it a day. Static wicks are often tapered towards the end, with a sharp carbon point at their tip. Static dischargers (wicks) are installed on aircraft to reduce the buildup of static charge on the airframe and radio receiver. Electrical and electronic equipment and the airplane main ground (airplane main structure or ground path), where applicable, and as specified by the airplane manufacturer. This gradient attracts the static charge, allowing electrons to flow off the aircraft and back. Static wicks are connected to the airplane’s grounding system, thereby providing a path for static electricity to safely dissipate. But static wicks—the small wires protruding from the trailing edge of an airplane’s wing or empennage—serve an important function in the air.
