  Chapter 3: Aircraft Construction › Subcomponents › Lightning Strike Protection

  octane aviation gas (avgas) and jet fuel. Lightning Strike Protection Lightning strike protection is an important consideration in aircraft design. When an aircraft is hit by lightning, a very large amount of energy is delivered to the structure. Whether flying ... light general aviation (GA) aircraft or a large airliner, the basic principle of lightning strike protection is the same. For any size aircraft, the energy from the strike must be spread over a large surface area to lower the amps…

  structure of the aircraft. Bonding and grounding connections are made in aircraft electrical systems to: 1. Protect aircraft and personnel against hazards from lightning discharge, Provide current return paths, Prevent development of radio-frequency potentials, Protect personnel from shock hazard ... procedures and precautions are recommended when making bonding or grounding connections. 1. Bond or ground parts to the primary aircraft structure, where practicable. 2. Make bonding or grounding connections in such a manner that no part of the aircraft structure…

  Fuel System Lightning Protection The fuel system must be designed and arranged to prevent the ignition of the fuel within the system by direct lightning strikes or swept lightning strokes to areas where such occurrences are highly probable ... fuel vent outlets. A corona is a luminous discharge that occurs as a result of an electrical potential difference between the aircraft and the surrounding area. Streamering is a branch-like ionized path that occurs in the presence…
