Damages from Lightning Strikes
Damages from Lightning Strikes
Was advised of a Metroliner of Brindabella Airlines - Canberra Oz- which suffered a Lightning Strike.
Close inspection revealed the effects of electrical arcing on an engine's bearings so it is likely that the strike was through a propeller.
Damage seems unusual considering the extent of bonding required in aircraft designs.
Most lightning strikes tend to burn a hole in an aircraft's skin but often there is some obscure internal damage.
Must be a few interesting stories out there.
