Aircraft Lightning Protection Systems (ALPS) are designed to protect aircraft from the effects of lightning strikes. ALPS are typically composed of a combination of conductive materials, such as copper or aluminum, and insulating materials, such as rubber or plastic. The conductive materials are used to divert the lightning strike away from the aircraft, while the insulating materials are used to protect the aircraft from the electrical current. ALPS are typically installed on the exterior of the aircraft, such as the wings, tail, and fuselage. ALPS are designed to protect aircraft from the effects of lightning strikes, such as structural damage, electrical system malfunctions, and fire. ALPS are also designed to reduce the risk of injury to passengers and crew. The Aircraft Lightning Protection Systems market is highly competitive, with a number of companies offering a variety of products and services. Some of the major players in the market include Esterline Technologies Corporation, Honeywell International Inc., and Safran S.A. Show Less Read more
