Results for tag: "Aircraft Lightning Protection"

Aircraft lightning protection is a system of components designed to protect aircraft from the effects of lightning strikes. The system is designed to provide a path for the lightning to follow, allowing it to safely dissipate without damaging the aircraft. The components of the system include lightning rods, static wicks, and bonding wires. Lightning rods are designed to intercept lightning strikes and direct them to the ground. Static wicks are designed to dissipate the electrical charge of the lightning strike, while bonding wires are used to connect the various components of the system. The aircraft lightning protection market is an important part of the aviation industry, as lightning strikes can cause significant damage to aircraft. The market is expected to grow in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for aircraft and the need for improved safety standards. Some of the major companies in the aircraft lightning protection market include Honeywell International, Inc., Safran SA, UTC Aerospace Systems, and Thales Group. Show Less Read more
