Description
Summary:Static-electricity measurements were made of helicopters. The highest voltage accumulation was measured at the Arctic Test Board, with downwash blowing snow in the rotor blade path. The data obtained at Edwards Air Force Base, California, indicated that there was a larger current generation and voltage accumulation during operations in blowing dust than was experienced in relatively clear air. The maximum voltage accumulation measured was 200,000 v, and the maximum charging current was 50 microamperes.
