Atmospheric Electricity Hazards Threat Environment Definition.

Abstract

This document provides definition of the atmospheric electricity threat environment as part of the Atmospheric Electricity Hazards Protection (AEHP) program under Air Force contract F33615-82-C-3406. This issue contains an initial atmospheric electricity threat to be used for aircraft based on measurement of (1) the lightning threat at the ground, and (2) the static electrification threat at altitude. The experimental basis for this threat is critically reviewed. Recommendations are made for future work in atmospheric electricity environments to refine and improve understanding of aircraft AEH environments. Keywords include: Aircraft Lightning Threat Atmospheric Electricity.
