When Lightning Strikes Your Airplane...

A natural target for lightning bolts, every airplane is designed with conductive materials, which allow lightning to safely exit a plane.

thanks to all those scientists who try with everything they have to save people :D

[jakegilbert]

I was a chemical engineer that made those composite materials. I am so very grateful for there hard work to keep us all safe in the skies

my last trip (Airbus A330) was hit by lightning, I saw a bright white light inside the cabin with a strong voice of lightning... It was exciting, but a bit scary

My dad was on an airplane that got struck by lightning
The plain was fine but everyone's ears were not ok

..Woah, I never acc knew that those mechanics or whatever done THAT much for us to survive.I never knew it needed that MUCH detail and even the smallest mistake can trigger something to go wrong:(.It's so delicate and I'm really grateful:)

What I expected from this video:
Lightning hits plane and it explodes then a quick cut to
Smithsonian, It’s brighter here.

Probably the most conclusive video on this channel. Other videos just end abruptly

fuck ps4 i want a lightning machine for christmas

The Faraday shield!!..thank you mister Michael Faraday!!

Correction; the aluminum shell acts as a Faraday cage.

Thank God.
Thank you Scientists, for saving lives.

I love how they model lightning strikes on tiny planes 😄

When lightning strikes your plane barf bags and adult disposable diapers become high demand items onboard.

I manufacture the composites used on these aircrafts. It’s basically a roll of a sheet of glue that has copper and aluminum screen pressed into it. These products are then applied to the interior of the plane during the manufacturing process.

I am an aviation technical activist. Your video was very useful. Thank you so much.

[antijazz]

wait a sec why am i watchin a bunch of your airplane crashing vids when next week i’m goin on an airplane

[blooddemons]

When the lightning hits the plane the plane is like " whatever "

I was on a plane, probably when I was in second grade, coming back from a vacation, and there was a MASSIVE thunderstorm which is really uncommon where I am, and we flew right threw it- my dad told me that the technology was meant to just let lightning pass through but I SWEAR it zapped through the plane and made the lights flicker a couple times- maybe I was too young to remember but dang flying through a lightning storm was so cool

Nice presentation thanks to each supporters, may I know what is the thickness of protective mesh and the name of metal for used in to this great job ?
