Conference on Lightning and Static Electricity, Held at Culham Laboratory, Abingdon, England on 14-18 April 1975

Abstract

A four-day international Conference on lightning and static electricity was sponsored by the Royal Aeronautical Society and the U.S. Atomic Energy Agency's Culham Laboratory at Culham on 14-18 April 1975. The meeting was primarily devoted to describing effects of lightning and static electricity on aircraft and components, laboratory simulation of these effects, and methods to prevent aircraft damage. This report discusses some of the European papers presented in the five sessions of the conference: Fundamental Aspects and Test Criteria, Fuels, Structures and Materials, Aircraft Application, and Missiles and Spacecraft.
