An electrical-energy transfer device comprising first and second parts able to move one relative to the other between distanced and close-up states, the first part comprising a first housing configured to at least partially house the second part, comprising at least a first lateral surface on which at least a first electrical-energy transfer element is positioned, the second part having a second lateral surface for each first lateral surface of the housing, having an overall shape that complements the shape of the first housing and on which surface there is positioned at least one second electrical-energy transfer element, the first and second electrical-energy transfer elements performing a transfer of electrical energy between one another when the first and second parts are in the close-up state.

A method for locating electrostatic discharges occurring on an aircraft in flight including a step of recording, during the flight of the aircraft, electromagnetic signals resulting in the electrostatic discharges and received by a plurality of detectors arranged at different places on an exterior surface of the aircraft, a step of analyzing the signals recorded during the flight, each of the signals, received by the various detectors and corresponding to one and the same electrostatic discharge, are processed to identify at least one zone of an exterior surface of the aircraft, determining a structural part in which the electrostatic discharge probably occurred.
