ABSTRACT:
A static discharger for discharging charge accumulation from the surface of the wing of an aircraft, comprises a generally flat layer of non-conductive material which is dimensioned and configured so that it can be secured to a portion of the wing surface and so as to conform generally to the shape of the wing surface. A generally flat base member is dimensioned and configured so as to be capable of being placed in conforming relationship with at least a portion of the surface of the layer of non-conductive material which insulates the base member from electrically contacting the surface of the aircraft. A plurality of strands formed of a discharging material are embedded in the base member. The plurality of strands are electrically connected to the wing surface of the aircraft so that charge accumulation may pass from the wing surface of the aircraft to the plurality of strands and be discharged at the trailing ends of the strands.
