For an example:-
1.As an aircraft fly through the air, they become charged with static electricity.As the charge on the aircraft increases, so too does the potential difference between
it and earth.With high potential differences there is the possibility of chargesescapingto earth as a spark duringrefueling,which could cause anexplosion.
The solution to this problem is to earth the plane with a conductor as soon as it
lands and before refueling commences.Fuel tankers that transport fuel on roads must also be earthed before any fuel is transferred, to prevent sparks causing a
fire orexplosion.
soo,hope this is enough for your question..

How can static electricity be a nuisance?
Well, do you know sometimes when you touch a door handle and you get a small electric shock? That's static electricity. Although in most situations this is harmless, if you are in a building with oil, or explosive gases, this could cause a huge explosion.Another way static electricity can cause problems is when working with computer components such as motherboards or memory cards. A small amount of static is capable of damaging those sensitive components, which is why it's recommended you ground yourself and/or wear an anti-static wristband while working around computers.
