AIRCRAFT LIGHTNING PROTECTION STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18035833 titled 'AIRCRAFT LIGHTNING PROTECTION STRUCTURE

Simplified Explanation

Abstract

A lightning stroke resistant structure for flying objects is described in this patent application. The structure consists of a lattice-shaped conductor that surrounds the flying object without hindering its flight. An attachment part connects the lattice-shaped conductor to a part of the flying object, and a conducting wire connects the lattice-shaped conductor to a ground point on the ground.

Bullet Points

  • The invention is a lightning stroke resistant structure for flying objects.
  • It includes a lattice-shaped conductor that surrounds the flying object.
  • The lattice-shaped conductor is positioned at a distance that does not hinder the flight of the object.
  • An attachment part connects the lattice-shaped conductor to a part of the flying object.
  • A conducting wire connects the lattice-shaped conductor to a ground point on the ground.

Potential Applications

  • Aircraft: This technology can be applied to commercial and military aircraft to protect them from lightning strikes during flight.
  • Drones: Drones are susceptible to lightning strikes, and this structure can be used to enhance their safety during operation.
  • Helicopters: Helicopters can benefit from this technology to minimize the risk of lightning strikes during flight.

Problems Solved

  • Lightning strikes: The structure provides protection against lightning strikes, reducing the risk of damage to the flying object and potential harm to passengers or crew.
  • Flight disruption: By implementing this structure, the risk of flight disruption due to lightning strikes can be minimized, ensuring safer and more reliable flights.

Benefits

  • Enhanced safety: The lightning stroke resistant structure improves the safety of flying objects by reducing the likelihood of lightning strikes and associated damage.
  • Reliable operation: By minimizing the risk of lightning strikes, the technology ensures more reliable operation of flying objects, reducing the potential for flight disruptions.
  • Cost-effective solution: Implementing this structure can be a cost-effective way to protect flying objects from lightning strikes, avoiding costly repairs and downtime.


Original Abstract Submitted
