Here is my experience with it, one strike on the winglet of a 1900 and it blew the crap out of the internal carbon fibre.



Other strikes and issues follow, junked the PT6 because the core was magnetised... basically a not fun and very expensive day




So an average stike of 30kA /500MJ is food for thought. It certainly opened my eyes
