What are the metal sticks on aircraft wings for?

Those are static wicks. They help dissipate static electricity from the aircraft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_wick
On a Boeing, they're zip ties holding them together
Don't even bother to wire clip them?
Same idea as lightning rods: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_rod
More like the opposite idea. These are for discharging built up static electricity from the plane back to the air.
This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
