Abstract:

This report contains the results of a program concerned with the design, construction, and flight testing of a high-performance static electricity discharging system for helicopters. Flight test data showed that the discharging system kept the electrostatic energy of a CH-37 helicopter below 1 millijoule for natural charging currents of up to 50 microamperes. This is in accordance with the established design specifications. Data were also obtained on the radio interference characteristics of the system and on the performance of corona points located in the engine exhaust stream.
