Abstract:
A moisture control system includes an anode coupled to an insulation blanket that is positioned between an inner wall and an outer wall of an aircraft fuselage, a cathode coupled to an interior surface of the outer wall, and a power control unit coupled to the anode and the cathode to apply voltage across the anode and the cathode. When the voltage is applied across the anode and the cathode, moisture is drawn away from the anode and toward the cathode on the interior surface of the outer wall and guided along a drainage path provided via structural members disposed between the inner wall and the outer wall toward a drainage port.
