Bonding refers to the practice of electrically connecting various metallic components within an aircraft to minimize differences in electrical potential and prevent the buildup of static electricity. Bonding ensures electrical continuity and equalizes the electrical potential among and between different metallic components. It eliminates potential differences that could cause electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical arcing, and ultimately electromagnetic interference.
