A survey is given of the lightning strikes to aircraft of the Federal Armed Forces over the past 10 years, from 1973 until 1982, inclusive. About 80% of the lightning strikes involved the following 4 types of aircraft: F-104G Starfighter, F-4 Phantom, C-160 Transall, BR-1150 Breguet ...
Summer is the season for thunderstorms, and sometimes lightning can strike an aircraft that is flying. However, a lightning strike on an aircraft is not dangerous, as aircraft are designed to withstand lightning strikes. For an airline the size of Finnair, lightning typically strikes planes ...
Wind shear and lightning strikes to aircraft are classically associated with summer convective weather. However, a recent study of West Coast airports found that severe wind shear and lightning strikes can occur during winter storms in the Portland Oregon terminal area. These unexpected phenomena arise...
Lightning initially attaches to the aircraft at one location and exits at one or more locations. More than 90% of aircraft lightning strikes are triggered by the presence of the aircraft itself. In other words, the lightning event would not have occurred without the presence of the aircraft. ...
Continuing records of pitting and denting effects of lightning strikes to aircraft, checked by laboratory artificial lightning currents, indicate frequent transfers of more than 200 coulombs in the intercepted discharges. There have been some pilot's reports of occurrence of ball lightning for a numbe...

Aerospace After lightning strikes: Repair considerations Lightning can strike twice. In the case of aircraft, it can strike multiple times. On planes built from highly conductive aluminum, even the worst-case 200,000-ampere jolt can be quickly conducted away. But for craft made with less-conduc...
Lightning strike incidents to commercial and military aircraft and helicopters have produced damage unlike what is usually inflicted by laboratory tests conducted in accordance with the aircraft lightning environment defined in present aircraft lightning environment standards including SAE ARP5412 and EUROCAE ...
