Updating the McAir Lightning Simulation Laboratory
Abstract
The goal of lightning simulation testing of aircraft is to ensure flight safety. The realism of each simulation is limited by the complexities of both the lightning environment and the aircraft itself. As the natural threat becomes better understood and improved test techniques are developed, the modern lightning laboratory must continually upgrade its equipment and facilities to meet the need for more accurate test simulation. This paper describes the major accurate test simulation. This paper describes the major test improvements incorporated in the McDonnell Aircraft Company lightning laboratory.
