Ira,
You echo may own opinion on this subject. Fortunately my Europa does not seem
to generate a lot of static (of a kind that can be detected at least). There
is not a lot that could be done if it did collect static whilst airbourne.
I had concerns about static build up and discharge on the ground, particularly
whilst fuelling. I adopt the standard procedure of grounding everything to the
same potential by touch, relying on terra firma to act as a ground. So far
there has never been the hint of a discharge even after a vigorous polishing
session.
Being involved in aircraft certification myself l am aware of the often heavy
and
costly solutions on larger aircraft. I am a structures signatory on the A350,
this has a high level of composites content and poses new issues and solutions
on many fronts, including bonding and lightning protection.
