Abstract :
With the increased use of composites and sensitive electronic systems on board a fighter aircraft, there is a necessity to design the aircraft structure and systems to withstand lightning strike-both direct and indirect. A comprehensive lightning test facility has been established in Bangalore by ADA and IISc as part of the light combat aircraft programme for carrying out various lightning tests as per MIL-standards. This paper gives a description of the facility and its capabilities
