The helicopter effectively forms a Faraday Cage around the electronics.

Same as a F.W. aircraft,= damage is extremely remote.
In-service aircraft are hit by lightning every day, somewhere in the world.

Damage is usually due to broken bonding straps between surfaces.

How come Helo's don't have "wicks" to dissipate the charge?
