Abstract :
The problem of rain static, particularly as it affects aircraft, is treated. Rain static is due to particles of rain, snow, or dust striking aircraft antennas. It has been found that the disturbance is electrostatic in origin and that an electrostatically shielded loop antenna reduces it materially.
