  • Abstract
    Many of the main hazards to air safety are the result of the generation and discharge of static electricity, a problem which has not been solved satisfactorily either in commercial or military aviation. The need for constructive research in the field is apparent. However, the author submits that such dangers as arise from electrostatic discharge can be eliminated by the utilization of the ionizer described in this article.
