A Short Discussion of the Feasibility of the Use of Radioactive and Other Coatings in Eliminating Aircraft Electrical Charge,

Abstract

An investigation is being made of different types of active discharging methods for aircraft with special attention given to the ac corona systems and combined ac-dc corona systems. A short discussion shows the necessary source strength of radioactive coatings and the dangers involved. Another discussion is presented on coatings which indicate the practical solution involving the use of passive coatings is not readily discernible.
