Birds and planes are both flying in the sky.Both are potentiallystruck by lightning.Here’s an explanation of sophistication anti-lightning system on the aircraft.The possibility of the plane struck by lightning is always there. However,aircraft equipped with the system StaticDischarge (SD) in the body.This makes the possibility of a lightning strike aircraft to be very small, especially modern planes.
Lightningoccurs because of differences in electric charge in the air, due to friction between the clouds or objects with the air of static electric charge arising on the thing.As with the plane, while moving in the air will cause staticelectricity in the fuselage.However,the SD immediately dispose of electricity in the air, so less likely struck. If the SD does not work, the plane could have been struck by lightning and could result from disruption of communications and aircraft navigationequipment to burn in air, although the incidence is very rare.
