Abstract: The paper presents the study of aviation fuel JET A-1 electrification and substantiation of the possibility to use static electricity for power generation. The modern aircraft refuelling with high-performance pumps followed by the fine filtration is a stable source of static charges generation, which raises the need to combat them. The results of the experiments show the dependence between the parameters of static charge density and the flow, flow rate, flow rate gradient and length of the pipeline. The level of the tank filling has been also accounted as a special index. We have also developed the device and the method for obtaining high voltage power, which is based on the positive use of the static electricity charges derived from the static charge converter. The further research must cover the effect of fuels electrification on the change of their operational properties, with the subsequent possibility of their modification.
