electrical effects on airplanes?

(OP)
What are the  effects if any on the plane due to the 100V/meter electric potential between regions above the ground and the more negative earth? What are the effects of electrical storms independent of the changes in winds etc?
 Are there effects on airplane motion not attributable clearly to changes in winds and air pressure that might be
attributable to electric fields including proposed electrostatic dipole fields along radial and longitudinal lines of the earth inside the earth and the earth's atmosphere transverse and proportional to the spinning motion of the earth?
   For example a plane from east to west in the opposite direction of the earth and its atmosphere would be lighter than could be accounted for by the lift from the winds in the opposite direction of the plane. Has this been observed?
   So a plane especially like the Concord and its occupants at Mach 2 going faster than the spinning earth and in the opposite direction should experience a reduced gravitational pull toward the earth. That is in the proposed theory, electrostatic dipoles are produced in the earth's atomic nuclei proportional to the earth's spinning and orbital motions and transverse to these motions
  Interactions between these dipoles and the charge on a conductive plane might produce torques and forces not completely explained by atmospheric effects.
   Are there effects that cannot be explained by winds and air pressure that might be explained by such electrical effects?
