Static charging of aircraft by collisions with ice crystals
نویسندگان
چکیده
Laboratory experiments measuring the charge transferred when ice crystals collide with various metal targets have shown that the primary influence on the magnitude and sign of the charging is the work function of the metal. The magnitude of the charging of two alloys used for aircraft manufacture varied by a factor of two. Further experiments are needed to characterise the charging of composite materials. Revue Phys.

The Growth and Morphology of Small Ice Crystals in a Diffusion Chamber
Small water ice crystals are the main component of cold tropospheric clouds such as cirrus. Because these clouds cover large areas of our planet, their role in the radiation budget of incoming and outgoing radiation to the planet’s surface is important. At present, the representation of these clouds in climate and weather models is subject to improvements: a large part of the uncertainty error ...
متن کاملCentralized Path Planning for Multi-aircraft in the Presence of Static and Moving Obstacles
This article proposes a new approach for centralized path planning of multiple aircraft in presence of the obstacle-laden environment under low flying rules. The problem considers as a unified nonlinear constraint optimization problem. The minimum time and control investigate as the cost functions and the maximum velocity and power consider as the constraints. The pseudospectral method applies ...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “Aircraft measurements of microphysical properties of subvisible cirrus in the tropical tropopause layer” by R. P. Lawson
This paper describes observations of subvisible cirrus (SVC) clouds with the NASA WB-57F aircraft during the Costa Rica Aura Validation Experiment (CR-AVE) in 2006. SVC clouds were encountered and characterised with state-of-the-art optical array imageing probes in extended areas of the tropical tropopause layer with temperatures as low as −90◦C. Nearly spherical crystal shapes were measured fo...
متن کاملStudy the effect of nano Al2O3 and nano graphene ceramic additives on the aircraft anti-icing/de-icing fluids
In the present study, the effect of nano Al2O3 and nano graphene ceramic additives in optimizing performance and improving thermophysical properties of aircraft anti-icing/de-icing fluids was investigated. Nanoparticles were characterized by TEM, SEM and XRD methods. The thermal conductivity, surface tension and dynamic viscosity of the hybrid nanofluids were experimentally assessed for tempera...
متن کاملComparison of methods for static charge energy harvesting on aircraft
In this paper, the possibility of using the static charge that accumulates on aircraft during flight as a source to power monitoring sensors is examined. The assessed methods include using a pair of materials with different air-flow charging rates, contact discharging of the fuselage to neutral metallic bodies, charge motion induction by the fuselage field and inductive harvesting of fuselage-t...
