Question:
I know that a commercial fixed wing aircraft or a helicopter can build up a considerable static charge during a flight. Do ground crews have to worry about a shock hazzard if the aircraft has not had the charge dissipated or is there some mechanism or system that prevents the charge from building up to a hazzardous potetial?
Answers:
what was the first commercial flight in history?
Before they pull the hose from the refueling truck, they connect a grounding cable to somewhere on the airplanes airframe. I know in smaller aircraft, they typically just clamp the cable to the eyelet on one of the wings used to tie down the airplane. It doesn't really matter where it is connected to. As long as the grounding cable is there. But yeah.How does airline cost affect passenger pricing?
There are grounding cables that they hook up b4 fueling.How would you name a new air line...??
may b ....there could be a possibility ....but im not 100% sure...as im related to aviation world.....that such electrical charge can take place while ur refueling a jet .....but yes there is a chance only 1% such sort of reaction towards jetliners is something not gonna take place easily....coz as we mention the lightining strike to aircraft also makes no damage to modern world jets ...so the same electric static charge wouldnt even come over it....Most all static electricity is discharged upon landing. Before refueling, a grounding cable is attached to the body of the aircraft.
Who loves in flight meals as much as me? I want two!!?
When you see the aircraft refuel you will notice a cable connected to the aircraft from the fueling truck. That is the grounding cables that the crew connects to aircraft so there won't be a static charge from the aircraft.how much km/h, mph is one knot?
When parked, the aircraft is grounded by a plugin cable.When refueling, the refuel truck has two cables on reels.
One goes to the aircraft, the other to a ground.
do you like united airlines or american airlines better? why?
When I pull my plane up to the pump to refuel, I attach the ground cable (usually in a reel right next to the pump) to the exhaust pipe outlet before I remove the fuel caps and then fuel.How do I get a job working on turbine engines?
I HAVE seen people taxi off with the cable still attached, but it's held on with an alligator clip. so it usually pops right off when the reel runs out of cable.
