  • CHARGE CONTROL SYSTEM TO REDUCE RISK OF AN AIRCRAFT-INITIATED LIGHTNING STRIKE
    Publication number: 20190359347
    Abstract: System for reducing likelihood of an aircraft-induced lightning strike on an aircraft. The system includes a plurality of electric field sensors distributed on surfaces of the aircraft to monitor continuously the electrical environment to which the aircraft is subjected. A plurality of ion emission sources are distributed on selected aircraft surfaces, the ion emission sources adapted to emit either positive or negative ions. A computer runs an algorithm to control net charge level of the aircraft by commanding the emission of positive or negative ions from selected surfaces to retard inception of corresponding leader discharges.
