Abstract: According to one implementation of the present disclosure, a method for field destabilization is disclosed. The method includes detecting, on or proximate to one or more aerial surfaces, a presence of an electric-field above a predetermined threshold; positioning the one or more antennas towards the one or more aerial surfaces; and transmitting electromagnetic waves towards the one or more aerial surfaces.

Abstract: According to one implementation of the present disclosure, a method is disclosed. The method includes: detecting, on or proximate to one or more surfaces of an aircraft, a presence of an electric-field above a predetermined threshold; and in response to the detection, activating one or more beam sources to generate an ionized column of charge away from the aircraft.

Abstract: A fuel tank includes an outer wall and a compliant layer disposed within a space at least partially defined by the outer wall. An aircraft includes a fuel cell and a fuel tank having an outer wall and a compliant layer disposed within a space at least partially defined by the outer wall. A method of operating a fuel tank includes providing an external wall and disposing a compliant layer of material within a space of the fuel tank that is at least partially defined by the external wall.
