Static Dissipation Cord

I found a static dissipation cord that looks like it would suit our needs in an H2 ship.

"The cord does not need to touch the surface to neutralize the static. It only needs to be connected to an earth ground (typically the metal frame of a machine) and placed close to where there is evidence of a static problem (ideally within several inches). Since ION CORD is a very thin and light weight string it can be mounted almost anywhere on a machine with ease. "

I could have used a static dissipation cord back when I was dating

Electrically speaking, it has to be grounded. That doesn't mean it must necessarily touch the surface of the earth. Others who know more about electricity can probably explain how grounding works in aircraft.

If it's an ion generator it's causing a draw of electrons, the same thing the ground does.   Am I right?
