Sunnier times @EDI

Its to help bleed of static charge from the nose cone onto the fuselage.

Is this the same principle behind ‘red noses’ Sandy? :confused:

Its to help bleed of static charge from the nose cone onto the fuselage.

The nosecone has serveral metal ribs intergrated into it, these connect with the fusealge and help bleed ant static charge of the cone. The black ring is painted with a special conductive paint that slightly overlaps the leading edge of these ribs. It helps bleed off more static charge.

The entire 737, 757 and 767 range have the black rings. Most airlines chose to paint over it, as you can do so and not effect it. BA for some reason do not paint over it.

Very nice photos, anyone know what the idea of the black circle is on the 767 nose cone

Awesome pictures Joe. The BMI livery on the ERJ is simply stunning

A lovely selection of photos there Joe.

Excellent pics, and I couldn’t think of a more appropriate title! 😉
