Abstract

971,544. Discharging static electricity from aircraft. GRANGER ASSOCIATES. June 5, 1961 [July 27, 1960] No. 20254/61. Heading H1X. A device for de-coupling corona discharge noise from an antenna mounted on an aircraft, comprises a rod of high electrical resistance projecting from the structure of the aircraft and carrying a discharge pin supported at a region 18 of low radio-frequency coupling field of the antenna with its axis at right-angles to the direction of the radio-frequency coupling field 16. As shown, the static discharger 12 is attached to an airfoil 10 by a distributed resistance 14 so that a null region 18 is established in the radiofrequency coupling field. Radially-extending discharge pins (not shown) are mounted in region 18 so that the corona discharge current is at right-angles to the residual coupling field. Distributed resistance 14 may comprise a plastic rod through which carbon is dispersed, or a nylon rod 30, Fig. 5A, coated with high-resistance paint, and discharge pins 36, 38 may be mounted directly thereon. The high-resistance paint may be connected directly between airfoil 10 and pins 36, 38 but, as shown, a bias voltage source 66 is connected between the airfoil and the high-resistance paint to enable discharges to occur at lower airfoil voltages. The dischargers may be mounted at the extremities of aircraft and in vortex low-pressure regions. U.S.A. Specification 2,933,732 is referred to.
