Used on aircraft to allow satisfactory operation of onboard navigation and radio communication systems during precipitation (p-static) conditions.
Also known as static wicks or static discharge wicks, installed on the trailing edges of aircraft, including (electrically grounded) ailerons, elevators, rudder, wing, horizontal and vertical stabilizer tips.
High electrical resistance (6-200 megaohms) devices with a lower corona voltage than the surrounding aircraft structure. They control the corona discharge into the atmosphere, isolating noise and preventing it from interfering with aircraft communication equipment.
