ABSTRACT:
An Extra Electric Energy System that supplies electrical power to an aircraft of the continuous flight duration day
ight cycle solar powered type is described where the extra electric energy is generated as static charge by collisions of the aircraft with particles existing in the earth's atmosphere. The manner in which the static charge is collected, stored and used immediately to meet present or future aircraft power needs is considered. An example of the application of the system to a high altitude solar powered Helios type aircraft is offered along with a discussion of how its structure is modified to store static charge.
