Which outcome occurs when an aircraft's electrostatic discharge wicks induce a sufficiently strong localized electric field?

A)Radio communication becomes temporarily impaired
B)Aerodynamic lift briefly increases
C)Fuel consumption decreases noticeably
D)Structural icing reduces dramatically

💡 Explanation

Radio interference results because strong electric fields caused by the electrostatic discharge lead to ionization of the surrounding air, which then induces electromagnetic noise via the mechanism of Bremsstrahlung radiation; therefore, radio impairment occurs rather than lift increase since ionization directly affects wave propagation.
