  • Abstract
    Aircraft in flight are capable of building up extremely high potentials which, in discharging, interfere with radio communication and navigation equipment, perhaps to such an extent as to render it useless for long periods. The process by which electrification is accumulated and the mechanism by which radio interference is produced are described in this first part of a 2-part article.
