Understanding the Impact of ESD on Aircraft and Components: Expert Insights

AI Thread Summary
ESD significantly impacts aircraft and their components by potentially causing damage to electronic systems. Aircraft designers and electrical engineers conduct extensive testing to ensure adequate grounding and bonding to mitigate ESD risks. Proper handling practices are crucial for maintenance and replacement of components to prevent ESD-related issues. The responsibility lies with both designers and handlers to uphold ESD safety measures. Understanding and addressing ESD is essential for the reliability and safety of aircraft systems.

How does ESD affect Aircraft and Aircraft Components??

Does anyone know??

Thanks...

The same way it affects everything else in the electronics world. Aircraft designers and EE's that design such components have to work through a lot of testing to make sure their grounding/bonding is sufficient to prevent that kind of damage. There is a responsibility to the handlers to maintain common ESD practices as well when replacing or maintaining them.
 

Thread 'Space Stuff and Launch Info'

Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
